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


[Chorus]
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show

Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my . . . [repeat]


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

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
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

Go on with the show

Going on with the show
Come on baby
No nono

Oh my my my my [repeat]

Oh baby
