Frankie died just the other night

Some say it was suicide

But we know how the story goes

With a six string knife and his streetwise pride

The boy was a man before his time

And she knew all their dreams would come true



See Frankie was fast, he was too fast to know

He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose

And she knows he'd finally come too close



Well on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no

Well on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no



He was bad he was never good

But one thing that he understood

And she knew all these lies would come true

The time has come and he paid his dues

And Suzie finally got the news

She always knew this day would come soon



Well it's on with the show, going on with the show come on baby no no no

Going on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no



Stopped on a dime with a switchblade knife

Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life

And she knew she'd have to pull through

Broken down with his broken dreams

With a wink of an eye he said listen to me

You must go on with the show



On with the show going on with the show, come on baby no no no

On with the show going on with the show, come on baby no no no

On with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no

Ooo baby!
