Some folks like to stay at home

Some folks like to be alone

So when they finally come out of their nest

Ive got to turn it on

Ive got to be my best

The street may be slick with ice

And im sick with butterflies

And some other girl may be the talk of the town

I could lose my voice

Or i could split my gown



But when im in the spotlight

Its got to be a hot night

Even when im feeling down

The show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on



Ive won some and i have lost

But what i enjoy the most

Is never knowing how the evening will end

Will i be the joke or the comedienne



And when im in the spotlight

Its got to be a hot night



Even when im shivering cold

The show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on



Repeat to end.



Background answers:

Even in a hurricane

Your contact lens goes down the drain

When your agent goes insane

When you can hardly stay awake

Youd rather stay at home and bake

When youve got a tummy-ache

To an audience of one

And you think hes got a gun

When laughing isnt any fun

You want to watch the end of cheers?
