It's Showtime [German translation]

They seem to wear a different mask each night they play

They’re forever someone else with every part

They want to make it in the theatre all the way

And the people down there know it in their heart

They are beggars, kings or fools, they got it made

Maybe someday I’ll be part of the parade

It’s showtime, it’s showtime, the curtain goes up

Everyone out there on stage

It’s showtime, it’s showtime, let’s reach for the top

Songbirds, get out of your cage

There’s a center of attraction as you’re blinded by the lights

We know the crowds are after tears and laughter

It’s showtime, it’s showtime, what more can I tell?

Showtime is heaven and hell

And the funny man’s laughin’, though he’s feeling down right low

But the audience won’t know – they love that funny show

And the hero’s a zero who’s frightened of a mouse

But acts the hero and brings down the house

There is nothing like showtime, it will take you to the sky

No stagefright can ever hold you back

It’s showtime in no-time, you take off and fly

Knowing you’re on the right track

It’s showtime, it’s no time, the dream has come true

We own the world here on stage

We’re singing, we’re dancing, we’re playing for you

Turning each night a new page

It’s showtime, it’s showtime, of course

We’re living just for your applause
