It's a Business Lyrics

CARMEN:
I'VE NEVER BEEN KNOWN AS ONE OF THOSE STUPID CLUCKS ELAINE

BAMBI:

CARMEN:
WHO p***** AWAY A LOT OF HER HARD EARNED BUCKS ELAINE

CARMEN:
BUT LET'S FACE IT YOUR COLORATURA SUCKS BAMBI,
THOUGH IT BREAKS YOUR MOTHER'S HEART,
FORGET ABOUT THE PART,
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO KNOW
WHY I REALLY BACKED THIS SHOW.

YOU ASK ME FOR MY MOTIVES
WELL, YOU NEEDN'T BE SO SMART,
IT'S A BUSINESS.
IT ISN'T MAKING HISTORY,
IT ISN'T MAKING ART,
IT'S A BUSINESS.

SHAW AND IBSEN TAKE 'EM AWAY,
AND DON'T BOTHER ME WITH MOLIERE,
THOSE RUSSIANS NEVER PAY.

SO GO ON CRITICISE ME,
PLEASE, PROCEED WITH YOUR ATTACK,
IT'S A BUSINESS
I PUT ONE MILLION IN
AND I EXPECT TWO MILLION BACK,
IT'S A BUSINESS

SO, WHAT CRIME HAVE I COMMITTED
IF I' PUTTING UP A FIGHT
IT'S A BUSINESS

AND I WANT THOSE PAYING SUCKERS
OUT THERE GIVING ME THE BUSINESS
EVERY NIGHT

CARMEN:
Am I getting through to you Elaine?

BAMBI:
I'm sorry mother but to me the theatre is a temple

CARMEN:
What so it should only be filled on Shabbat? Give me a hand fellas.
(they clap) Very funny. You know what I mean back me up.

CARMEN:
THE NOT FOR PROFIT THEATRES
DON'T NEED TO TURN A BUCK
THAT'S NOT BUSINESS

CARMEN:
SO GIVE THEM LYSASTRATA
AND I WISH THEM LOTS OF LUCK

WHOSE PROTENSION KNEW NO BOUNDS
