On With the Show (takes 12 + 14) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Good evening one and all
We′re all so glad to see you here
We'll play your favorite songs
While you′re all soak up the atmosphere
We'll start with "ol' 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, start the show at 2 o′clock.)

And 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 gaily 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!
