There was, a full moon in the sky
We met a brand new robot friend
At first, he seemed 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!
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!

We removed his squishy casing
To keep his circuits
Safe 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
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!
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 fairwell and had him
Terminated!!
♪
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 all right
Although he didn't survive the night
Through the pain and though the tears
The show goes on for years and years
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!
