The show must go on

There was a full moon in the sky
We met a brand new robot friend
At first he seemed a little shy
He would not play pretend

He sang just fine and played in time
But did not look the part
So we lovingly decided to give him
A brand new start

No matter what we say or do
It's never up to me or you
We smile now and
Sing a cheer!
The show must go on
The show must go on
Never fear
The show will go on

We removed his squishy casing
To keep his circuits
Safe and sound
And ended up replacing it
With scraps that we had found
But, what a shame! (a crying shame!)
Our friend was in a world of pain
Oh, we tried to fix him up
But it was all in vain

No matter what we say or do
It's never up to me or you
We smile now and sing a cheer!
The show must go on
The show must go on
Never fear
The show will go on

We just don't know what
Went wrong
We tried to get along
But our new robot friend's
Power faded
We did our best to
Fix our guest
We're hated to see him
So distressed
We said farewell and had him
Terminated

Every toy eventually breaks
Every battery
Fades and drains
Even the tiniest
Little mistakes
Can leave behind
The messiest stains
We know that we'll be all right
Although he didn't survive the night
Through the pain and
Through the tears
The show goes on
For years and years

No matter what we
Say or do
It's never up to me or you
We smile now and
Sing a cheer!
The show must go on
The show must go on
Never fear
The show will go on
