Wild Man Fischer - It's a Hard Business lyrics

{Chorus: Wild Man Fischer Rosemary Clooney, **Both**} It's a hard business Please tell me that you agree It's a hard business It's hard for you, and hard for me It's a hard business Reaching way down in your soul It's a hard business Singing jazz or rock n' roll {Pre-Chorus} If you don't make it Well don't blame me If you can't take it You'll soon agree {Chorus} That it's a hard business Travelling from town to town It's a hard business Riding on this merry-go-round It's a hard business It's hard to make it to the top It's a hard business Especially when your records flop {Verse 2} Agents and critics Managers and slime You make them a million They'll toss you a dime {Bridge} Rosemary, I'm thinking of quitting this impossible business Oh really Larry? I hope not. It's just too hard. D'you know what I mean? Oh, I sure do, Larry Would you blame me if I quit show business Rosemary? You gotta do what you gotta do, Larry That really surprises you that I wanna quit? {Pre-Chorus} If you don't make it Well don't blame me If you can't take it You'll soon agree {Chorus} That it's a hard business Very hard, very hard It's a hard business Very hard, very hard, very hard It's a hard business Impossible even That it's a hard business {Run away?} It's a hard business **It's a hard business** It's a hard business Doo doo-doo doo doo
