Verse 1
The world for some yearsHas been sodden with tearsOn behalf of the Acting profession,Each star playing a partSeems to expect the 'Purple Heart',It's unorthodoxTo be born in a boxBut it needn't become an obsession,Let's hope we have no worse to plague usThan two shows a night at Las Vegas.When I think of physiciansAnd mathematiciansWho don't earn a quarter the dough,When I look at the facesOf people in Macy'sThere's one thing I'm burning to know:
Refrain 1
Why must the show go on?It can't be all that indispensable,To me it really isn't sensibleOn the wholeTo play a leading roleWhile fighting those tears you can't control,Why kick up your legsWhen draining the dregsOf sorrow's bitter cup?Because you have readSome idiot has said,'The Curtain must go up'!I'd like to know why a star takes bowsHaving just returned from burying her spouse.Brave boop-a-doopers,Go home and dry your tears,Gallant old troupers,You've bored us all for yearsAnd when you're so blue,Wet throughAnd thoroughly woe-begone,Why must the show go on?Oh Mammy!Why must the show go on?
Verse 2
We're asked to condoleWith each tremulous soulWho steps out to be loudly applauded,Stars on opening nightsSob when they see their names in lights,Though people who actAs a matter of factAre financially amply rewarded,It seems, while pursuing their calling,Their suffering's simply appalling!But butchers and bakersAnd candlestick makersGet little applause for their painsAnd when I think of minersAnd waiters in 'Diners'One query for ever remains:
Refrain 2
Why must the show go on?The rule is surely not immutable,It might be wiser and more suitableJust to closeIf you are in the throesOf personal grief and private woes.Why stifle a sobWhile doing your jobWhen, if you use your head,You'd go out and grabA comfortable cabAnd go right home to bed?Because you're not giving us much fun,This 'Laugh Clown Laugh' routine's been overdone,Hats off to Show FolksFor smiling when they're blueBut more comme-il-faut folksAre sick of smiling through,And if you're out cold,Too oldAnd most of your teeth have gone,Why must the show go on?I sometimes wonderWhy must the show go on?
Refrain 3
Why must the show go on?Why not announce the closing night of it?The public seem to hate the sight of it,Dear, and soWhy you should undergoThis terrible strain we'll never know.We know that you're sad,We know that you've hadA lot of storm and strifeBut is it quite fairTo ask us to shareYour dreary private life?We know you're trapped in a gilded cageBut for Heaven's sake relax and be your age,Stop being gallantAnd don't be such a bore,Pack up your talent,There's always plenty more
