Step up kid, sign your name right here
There's pride to take in being a volunteer
It's not gonna be easy but we're all of us equal
If you give it your all you can be show people

Can you stand on your head? Can you land on a dime?
Can you find a thousand different ways to say the same line?
Can you show a crowded room the good and the evil?
Do the same when it's empty? You can be show people

Can you sleep where you're sitting, make a pillow from your shoes
Fix an engine with duct tape, use a string for a fuse?
Can you fly like Icarus, land like Evel Knievel?
We'll show you how it's done, we are show people

They call us travelling players, fools and troubadours
We did turns for the king and they still called us whores
Sometimes we've been icons, in the plague years illegal
But we believed in our craft 'cause we are show people

And I know you've didn't want the hand that you were dealt
Let me guess that you were scorned for just being yourself
And you knew in your heart that you had something to say
And you were willing to work at it, through the nights and through the days
On the skills you knew you'd need to say exactly what you mean
They weren't perfect when you started but you were hungry and you were lean
To be the truest version of yourself, pass through the eye of the needle
Step right up and show 'em what you've got

(Show people, show people)
(Show people, show people)

Don't worry kid, you're gonna show people
Six nights a week, you're gonna show people
Some day, I promise, you're gonna show people
With a matinee on Saturdays, you're gonna show people

You'll probably be disappointed, you'll often be broke
But in airports and at parties, you're gonna smell your own
You're more likely to be John Otway than the Beatles
But Otway's still on tour, hats off to the show people
