The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People come people go, how long I'll stay I just don't know
When showbiz is a dirty word, I hope my time will come
Chorus: Crackpot history and the right to lie
People love people hate, for my downfall they just can't wait
When showbiz is a dirty word, I hope my time will come
(chorus)
I wish that everyone could see a show by Liza Minnelli
Such a marvelous lady with talent by the ton
(chorus)
People lie people hurt, like to read their Sunday dirt
So every Jeckyll needs a Hyde to blame the business on
(chorus)
Every rebel that I've met say they're going to die and yet
I see them now and they ain't dead yet and pushing forty one
(chorus)
Pumping is a splendid gift, I hope that you will catch my drift
Some like pumping in the lift, just like the Scottish Tongs
(chorus)
There is nothing like the sound of a nicely laundered pound
Trying to collect around forty million
(chorus)
