Top hat's crooked on my head
One glove on
The other fled
Joke cards falling from my sleeve
I bow too early
Start to leave
But the show must go wrong
That's why you came along (hey!)
Trip on the line
Miss every cue
I fall apart performing for you
If I get it right
It feels too small
So I miss my mark
And steal the hall
Spotlight sneezes
Flickers twice
Straight man slips on orange peels
Twice
Dove won't fly
It just stares back
We both agree to share the act
Yeah
The show must go wrong
Come clap and sing along (oh!)
Buttons pop off
Wig's askew
Still I take a bow like it's all on cue
If I get it right
I lose the charm
So I drop the cards
And raise the laughs
You paid for polish
Got peeling paint
You wanted heroes
You got a saint
In scuffed-up shoes
And borrowed tails
Selling you miracles
With busted nails
'Cause the show must go wrong
That's how we all belong (hey!)
We miss our steps
Reveal the glue
You see my seams
I still see you
If we get it wrong together
Too
We'll curtain-call
On something true
The Grand Finale
Vaudeville
Vaudeville
Top hat tips
A knowing wink
Spotlight drips
What do you think
The curtain calls
A final bow
Before it falls
Right here right now
Vaudeville, Vaudeville, Vaudeville
Oh the grand finale
What a show
The grand finale
