[Verse 1]

There was a full moon in the sky

We met a brand new robot friend

At first he was a little shy

He would not play pretend

He sang just fine and played in time, but did not look the part

So we lovingly decided to give him a brand new start

[Chorus]

NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY OR DO

IT'S NEVER UP TO ME OR YOU

WE SMILE NOW AND SING A CHEER

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

NEVER FEAR, THE SHOW WILL GO ON

[Verse 2]

We removed his squishy casing

To keep his circuits save and sound

And ended up replacing it

With scraps that we had found

But what a shame (A crying shame)

Our friend was in a world of pain

Oh, we tried to fix him up

But it was all in vain

[Chorus]

NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY OR DO

IT'S NEVER UP TO ME OR YOU

WE SMILE NOW AND SING A CHEER

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

NEVER FEAR, THE SHOW WILL GO ON

[Verse 3]

We just don't know what went wrong

We tried to get along

But our new robot friend's power faded

We did our best to fix our guest

We hated to see him so distressed

We said farewell and had him terminated

[Bridge]

Every toy eventually breaks

Every battery fades and drains

Even the tiniest little mistakes

Can leave behind the messiest stains

We know that we'll be alright

Though he didn't Survive The Night

Through the pain and through the tears

The show goes on for years and years

[Chorus]

NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY OR DO

IT'S NEVER UP TO ME OR YOU

WE SMILE NOW AND SING A CHEER

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

NEVER FEAR, THE SHOW WILL GO ON
