On With The Show - The Ataris

Frankie died just the other night

Some say it was suicide

But we know how the story goes

With his six string knife and his street-wise pride

The boy was a man before his time

And she knew all their dreams would come true

But ya see, Frankie was fast, too fast to know

He wouldn’t go slow until his lethal dose

And she knows he’ll finally come too close

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on, baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on, baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my

He was bad, he was never good

But one thing that he understood

And she knew all those lies would come true

The time has come and he’s paid his dues

Suzy finally got the news

She always knew this day would come soon

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on, baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on, baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my

He was stopped on a dime with a switchblade knife

Some damn punk went and took Frankie’s life

And she knew she’d have to pull through

Broken down, with his broken dreams

With a wink of an eye said «Suzy, listen to me

You must go on with the show.»

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on, baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on, baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my

Oh, baby
