(Carly Simon)
Some folks like to stay at home
Some folks like to be alone

So when they finally come out of their nest
I've got to turn it on
I've got to be my best

The street may be slick with ice
And I'm sick with butterflies
And some other girl may be the talk of the town

I could lose my voice
Or I could split my gown


But when I'm in the spotlight
It's got to be a hot night
Even when I'm feeling down

The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on

The show must go on

I've won some and I have lost

But what I enjoy the most
Is never knowing how the evening will end
Will I be the joke or the comedienne


And when I'm in the spotlight
It's got to be a hot night


Even when I'm shivering cold
The show must go on

The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on

[Repeat to end.]

[Background answers:]

Even in a hurricane
Your contact lens goes down the drain
When your agent goes insane

When you can hardly stay awake
You'd rather stay at home and bake
When you've got a tummy-ache

To an audience of one
And you think he's got a gun
When laughing isn't any fun

You want to watch the end of "Cheers"

Your mother is a lunatic

You think you've left the oven on
You find out there's no Santa Claus
You're doggy can't remember you

You want to move up to Vermont
You just ran out of underwear
Your prescription won't renew

You just ran into your ex
The handyman was very rude
Your landlord just evicted you

It's cosy by the fireplace
You really have to blow your nose
It must, it must, it must go on

Arnold says it must go on
