Show Folk Lyrics

Some people enjoy
Splitting rails
Hammering nails
Blazing trails
This all fails to delight me
Some folks seek employment in banks
But no thanks
For the ranks of the banks
Don't excite me
Top executive jobs they may pursue
There's just one thing that I'm born to do
I want to be where the spotlight
And the curtain is
Just look for me where the limelight
That for certain is
It doesn't matter if it's Broadway or it's
Hoboken, 'cause I'm show folk all the way
I'll do the part that is arty
And ethereal
I'll do the smart, or the not-so-hot
Material
It doesn't matter if it's Shakespeare or it's
Pure hoke, because I'm
Show folk all the way
Let me play all parts
There are no small parts
Only small actors, my friend
I'll play a death scene
That big Macbeth scene
Or just the second witch from the end
I'll do a bit on a showboat or a ship to Rome
I'll play a split week in Muncie or the Hippodrome
I'll keep on smiling 'cause I know the show may
Go broke, because I'm
Show folk all the way
Don't want to fly to the moon
Or be a steel tycoon
Or President of the USA
Just wanna be show folk
Those inner glow folk
Because I'm show folk all the way

-----

Don't want to be employed
As a Sigmund Freud
Or president of the AMA
I just wanna be show folk
Those ego-go folk
Those dynamo folk
Those tappy-toe folk
We just want to be show folk
Those inner glow folk
'Cause way down deep inside, we're really
Show folk all the way
