[Verse 1]
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
He was 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
My, my, oh my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
My, my, oh my
[Verse 2]
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]
Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
My, my, oh my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
My, my, oh my
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Going on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, oh my
My, my, my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, oh my
My, my, my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
My, my, oh my
Ooh, baby
Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide

And his street-wise pride

And she knew
All their dreams would come true
But ya see, Frankie was fast
He was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow

And she knows

[Chorus]
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
My, my, oh my
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my
My, my, oh my
