| I’m inviting you to my vaudeville
|
| «Oui encore"you say, «And on with the show»
|
| Ladies, gentlemen, before I sing to you
|
| The light that shines twice as bright
|
| Burns half as long
|
| Come let me entertain you all
|
| Leave me all your troubles big and small
|
| Life’s a ball, life’s a ball
|
| Hitch a ride on my crooked merry-go-round
|
| Hear the clinking-clanking sound
|
| Of the song that I bring
|
| Take my song, take my hand, never let me down,
|
| Like love let me down, like love pushed me around
|
| So long, goodbye, I lost, did try
|
| This is the last song I’ll ever sing
|
| The last song I’ll sing
|
| I played in the cabaret of love
|
| I wore heart, fist and glove.
|
| Push and shove, push and shove…
|
| And all for love
|
| Take my song, take my hand, never let me down,
|
| Like love let me down, like love pushed me around
|
| So long, goodbye, I lost, did try
|
| This is the last song I’ll ever sing
|
| The last song I’ll sing
|
| This is the last song I’ll ever sing
|
| The last song I’ll sing
|
| Here, with words that can’t be said
|
| We take songs to our bed
|
| Sing-a-long, sing-a-long… to my last song. |
