carmen:
i’ve never been known as one of those stupid clucks
elaine

bambi:
bambi

carmen:
who p-sses away a lot of her hard earned bucks elaine

bambi:
bambi

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

guys:
that’s not business

carmen:
so give them lysastrata
and i wish them lots of luck
i do business

guys:
she does business

carmen:
dorky schmorky
money misspent
you won’t survive yom kiuppur
you’ll never get through lent

i once knew a producer
whose protension knew no bounds
in the business

guys:
in the business

carmen:
he mounted samuel beckett
i don’t mean it like it sounds
it was business

guys:
it’s was business

carmen:
so now he’s down the cr-pper
while i’m working in my prime
it’s a business

guys:
it’s a business

carmen:
and the shows i do do business
cause i really know my business
and i’m giving them the business, honey
all the time

bambi:
but what about the great poets of the stage

carmen:
honey i put on the ice man cometh and n-body cameth

carmen:
to stage hands
to the dressers
to musicians in the pit
it’s a business

guys:
it’s a business

carmen:
the owner of this premesis cleans up if we’re a hit
he’s in business

guys:
he’s in business

carmen:
union workers don’t work for free
hey harry on the spotlight
blink twice if you agree

see!

i’m not devopid of culture
but my feet are on the floor
it’s a business

guys:
it’s a business

carmen:
i do the karma sutra
with a richard rogers score
that’s good business

guys:
it’s a business

carmen:
yes green’s my favorite color,
and i don’t mean on the gr-ss
it’s a business

guys:
in a business

carmen:
and the shows i do do business,
yes i’m good at doin’ business,
and if you don’t like my business sweetie,

blow it out your…

guys:
it’s a business

carmen:
business

all:
it’s a business
it’s a business
it’s a business
