You make some mistakes
but the show goes on.
The scenery breaks
but the show goes on.
People need that glitz and glitter
when life is bitter and slow.
Nobody likes to be a nobody.
The Show Goes On.
You might miss your cues
but the show goes on.
You might read reviews
but the show goes on.
If this right here's the life you're hot for,
it's clearly not for the dough.
No, it's the thrill you get from creating.
The Show Goes On.
There may be times
the going gets lonely,
when you're out on your own.
But, truth be told,
this life is the only one
you've ever really known...
You struggle for years
but the show goes on.
Ovations or jeers,
the show goes on.
Dream your dream.
It may sound silly
but if you're really a pro,
someday they'll know
your name in New York City.
'Til then, the Show Goes On!
