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.

   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”
