Stan Freberg - 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 d**h 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
