《Why Must the Show Go On》歌词

[00:00:00] Why Must The Show Go On - Noel Coward
[00:00:01] Written by:Coward
[00:00:10] The world for some years
[00:00:11] Has been sodden with tears
[00:00:12] On behalf of the acting profession
[00:00:15] Each star playing a part
[00:00:17] Seems to expect a purple heart
[00:00:20] It's unorthodox to be born in a box
[00:00:22] But it needn't become an obsession
[00:00:24] Let's hope we have no worse to plague us
[00:00:26] Than two shows a night in Las Vegas
[00:00:29] When I think of physicians and mathematicians
[00:00:32] Who don't earn a quarter the dough
[00:00:35] When I look at the faces
[00:00:36] Of people in Macy's
[00:00:38] There's one thing I'm burning to know
[00:00:42] Why must the show go on
[00:00:46] It can't be all that indispensable
[00:00:50] To me it really isn't sensible on the whole
[00:00:53] To play a leading role
[00:00:55] While fighting those tears you can't control
[00:00:57] Why kick up your legs
[00:00:58] When draining the dregs
[00:00:59] Of sorrow's bitter cup
[00:01:01] Because you have read
[00:01:02] Some idiot has said
[00:01:03] The curtain must stay up
[00:01:04] I'd like to know
[00:01:06] Why a star takes bows
[00:01:08] Having just returned from burying her spouse
[00:01:13] Brave boop a doopers
[00:01:14] Go home and dry your tears
[00:01:17] Gallant old troopers
[00:01:18] You've bored us all for years
[00:01:20] And if you're so blue
[00:01:21] Wet through
[00:01:22] And thoroughly woe be gone
[00:01:24] Why must the show go on
[00:01:27] Oh mammy
[00:01:28] Why must the show go on
[00:01:36] We're asked to condole
[00:01:37] With each tremulous soul
[00:01:38] Who steps out to be loudly applauded
[00:01:40] Stars on opening nights
[00:01:43] Weep when they see their names in lights
[00:01:46] Though people who act
[00:01:47] As a matter of fact
[00:01:48] Are financially amply rewarded
[00:01:51] It seems when pursuing their calling
[00:01:53] Their suffering's simply appalling
[00:01:57] But butchers and bakers and candlestick makers
[00:02:00] Get little applause for their pains
[00:02:02] When I think of miners
[00:02:04] And waiters in diners
[00:02:06] The query forever remains
[00:02:09] Why must the show go on
[00:02:14] The rule
[00:02:15] Is surely not immutable
[00:02:17] It it might be wiser
[00:02:19] And more suitable
[00:02:20] Just to close
[00:02:21] If you are in the throes
[00:02:23] Of personal grief and private woes
[00:02:25] Why stifle a sob when doing your job
[00:02:27] When if you'd use your head
[00:02:29] You'd go out and grab
[00:02:30] A comfortable cab
[00:02:31] And go right home to bed
[00:02:32] Because you're not
[00:02:33] Giving us much fun
[00:02:36] This laugh clown laugh routine's been overdone
[00:02:41] Hats off to showfolks
[00:02:42] For smiling when they're blue
[00:02:44] But more comme il faut folks
[00:02:46] Are sick of smiling through
[00:02:47] And if you're out cold
[00:02:49] Too old
[00:02:50] And most of your teeth have gone
[00:02:52] Why must the show go on
[00:02:54] I sometimes wonder
[00:02:56] Why must the show go on
[00:03:00] Why must the show go on
[00:03:03] Now why not announce the closing night of it
[00:03:07] The public seem to hate the sight of it dear
[00:03:10] And so
[00:03:11] Why you should undergo
[00:03:13] This terrible strain
[00:03:14] We'll never know
[00:03:15] We know that you're sad
[00:03:16] We know that you've had
[00:03:17] A lot of storm and strife
[00:03:19] But is it quite fair
[00:03:20] To ask us to share
[00:03:21] Your dreary private life
[00:03:23] We know you're trapped in a gilded cage
[00:03:26] But for heaven's sake
[00:03:28] Relax and be your age
[00:03:31] Stop being gallant
[00:03:32] And don't be such a bore
[00:03:35] Pack up your talent
[00:03:36] There's always plenty more
[00:03:38] And if you lose hope
[00:03:39] Take dope
[00:03:40] And lock yourself in the John
[00:03:42] Why must the show go on
[00:03:44] I'm merely asking
[00:03:46] Why must the show
[00:03:52] Go on
