Below is another cohousing song version done by my wife, Becca Brackett. She tried to stick closely to the original 1946 song by Irving Berlin which I've included below hers. It got a bit wordy and harder to sing. She included the "bridge" (indented). A verse could be added specific to local community. FRed -- Fred H.

There's no people like COHO people, they help when you are low Even with a core group that you fear will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show The Renter, the Student, Homeowner, the monk Are secretly unhappy ones because The Renter, the Student, Homeowner, the monk Get housing for their money, but no applause They'd gladly bid their dreary HOMES goodbye, for anything like cohousing and do you know why There's no housing like co-housing and I tell you it's so Visiting cohousing is so thrilling, saunter down the pathway on starlit nights Smile as you watch THE CHILDREN PLAYING and there's your BUILDING WITH FRIENDLY LIGHTS There's no people like OUR people, they HELP when YOU are low Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack Wha-da-ya mean there's money that I won't get back? Let's go on with the show (there's no housing like co- housing like no housing I know) You get word before the GENERAL MEETING that your favorite uncle died at dawn AND your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but You Check In ( to the general meeting I mean) (there's no people like COHO people, they HELP WHEN YOU ARE LOW) Yesterday they told you: you COULD not BUY IN, THEN WHEN IT OPENS YOU'RE IN LIKE FLYNN Next day on your UNIT DOOR they've hung a star, LET COHOUSING GO FAR! ---- original There's No Business Like Show Business -- Irving Berlin 1946 --- ( from https://www.lyrics.com/ -- there seem to be many versions of the original) There's no business like show business like no business I know Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk Are secretly unhappy men because The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk Get paid for what they do but no applause. They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical and why? There's no business like show business and I tell you it's so Traveling through the country is so thrilling, standing out in front on opening nights Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your billing out there in lights There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack Where could you get money that you don't give back? let's go on with the show (There's no business like show business like no business I know) You get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on (There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low) Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and there you are Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on with the show!!
