(Carly Simon)

Some folks like to stay at home

Some folks like to be alone

So when they finally come out of their nest

I've got to turn it on

I've got to be my best

The street may be slick with ice

And I'm 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 I'm in the spotlight

It's got to be a hot night

Even when I'm feeling down

The show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on



I've 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 I'm in the spotlight

It's got to be a hot night



Even when I'm 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

You'd rather stay at home and bake

When you've got a tummy-ache

To an audience of one

And you think he's got a gun

When laughing isn't any fun

You want to watch the end of "Cheers"



Your mother is a lunatic

You think you've left the oven on

You find out there's no Santa Claus

You're doggy can't remember you

You want to move up to Vermont

You just ran out of underwear

Your prescription won't renew

You just ran into your ex

The handyman was very rude

Your landlord just evicted you

It's cosy by the fireplace

You really have to blow your nose

It must, it must, it must go
