[Verse]
Good evening one and all, we're all so glad to see you here
We'll play your favourite songs while you all soak up the atmosphere
We'll start with 'Old Man River', then maybe 'Stormy Weather', too
I'm sure you know just what to do
On with the show, good health to you
Please pour another glass, it's time to watch the cabaret
Your wife will never know that you're not really working late
Your hostess here is Wendy, you'll find her very friendly, too
And we don't care just what you do
On with the show, good health to you
Petina starts the show at 2 o'clock
Oh, if by chance you find that you can't make it anymore
We'll put you in a cab and get you safely to the door
But we've got all the answers and we've got lovely dancers, too
There's nothing else you have to do
On with the show, good health to you
You're all such lovely people dancing, eating 'round the floor
But if you have to fight, please take your trouble out the door
For now I say with sorrow until this time tomorrow
We'll bid you all a fond adieu
On with the show, good health to you

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
