I'm inviting you to my vaudeville

"oui encore" you say, "and on with the show"

Ladies, gentlemen, before i sing to you

The light that shines twice as bright,

Burns half as long.



Come let me entertain you all

Leave all your troubles big and small

Life's a ball, life's a ball.

Hitch a ride on my crooked merry-go-round

Hear the clinking-clanking sound

Of the song that i bring



Take my song, take my hand, never let me down,

Like love let me down, like love pushed me around



So long, goodbye, i lost, did try

This is the last song i'll ever sing

The last song i'll sing



I played in the cabaret of love

I wore heart, fist and glove.

Push and shove, push and shove....

And all for love



Take my song, take my hand, never let me down,

Like love let me down, like love pushed me around



So long, goodbye, i lost, did try

This is the last song i'll ever sing

The last song i'll sing

This is the last song i'll ever sing

The last song i'll sing



Here, with words that can't be said

We take songs to our bed

Sing - a - long, sing - a - long.... to my last song.
