There was a full moon in the sky We met a brand new robot friend And first he seemed a little shy He would not play pretend He sang just fine and played in time But did not look the part So we lovingly decided to give him A brand new start
NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY OR DO IT'S NEVER UP TO ME OR YOU WE SMILE NOW AND SING A CHEER THE SHOW MUST GO ON, THE SHOW MUST GO ON NEVER FEAR THE SHOW WILL GO ON
We removed his squishy casing To keep his circuits safe and sound And ended up replacing it With scraps that we had found But what a shame! (a crying shame) Our friend was in a world of pain Oh, we tried to fix him up But it was all in vain...
NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY OR DO IT'S NEVER UP TO ME OR YOU WE SMILE NOW AND SING A CHEER THE SHOW MUST GO ON, THE SHOW MUST GO ON NEVER FEAR THE SHOW WILL GO ON
We just don't know what went wrong We tried to get along But our new robot friend's power faded We did pour best to fix our guest We hated to see him so distreessed We said fairwell and had him terminated
Every toy eventually breaks Every battery fades and drains Even the tiniest little mistakes Can leave behind the messiest stains We know that we'll be all right Althought he didn't Survive the night Through the pain and through the tears The show goes on for years and years
NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY OR DO IT'S NEVER UP TO ME OR YOU WE SMILE NOW AND SING A CHEER THE SHOW MUST GO ON, THE SHOW MUST GO ON NEVER FEAR THE SHOW WILL GO ON
