Let's get the show on the road, baby At the curtain, take a bow New haven, just a rendezvous to take you to A lover who was then, but never now Susan played the lady Who called the players songs Just a figurine of stagehand reveries Guess up and coming can't be that wrong Let's get the show on the road, baby And set the spotlights on the stage Ah, my, it seems I've heard these words before Did you forget to turn the page? And remember what they told you About how the show goes on How can you come back, if you've never gone away? How can you sing how, can you sing without a song? And today's for sale and it's all you can afford By your own admission You see the whole thing's got you bored The Lord uses the good ones, the bad ones use the Lord Let's get the show on the road, baby Come and take a look around You got one thing to remember when you're climbing to the top You'd better know the way back down I can't believe you'd really stumble But then, I always knew you'd fall Well, it seems so easy, to say, "I knew you when" I'd rather it was not at all And today's for sale and it's all you can afford By your own admission You see the whole thing's got you bored The Lord uses the good ones, the bad ones use the Lord
