On With the Show

Frankie died just the other night.

Some say it was suicide,

But we know

How the story goes.

With his six string knife

And his street wise pride

The boy was a man before his time,

And she knew

All their dreams would come true.



But ya see, Frankie was fast,

Too fast to know.

He wouldn't go slow

Until his lethal dose.

And she knows

He'll finally come too close.



(Chorus)

Well, on with the show.

Going on with the show.

Come on baby

No, no, no.

Oh my, my, my . . .

(repeat)



He was bad.

He was never good.

But one thing that he understood.

And she knew

All those lies would come true.



The time has come and

He's paid his dues.

Suzy finally got the news.

She always knew

This day would come soon.



(Chorus)



(Chorus)



He was 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

Said "Suzy, listen to me

You must go

On with the show."



(Chorus)



(Chorus)



Oh baby
