Life is a never-ending show, old sport
Except the minor detail that it ends
The overture's a lifetime, but the show is short
Here with all your family and friends
You run the race, you blurt your lines
They put your face on shirts and shrines
And giant signs a thousand feel tall
And don't stop dancing
Don't stop dancing
'til the curtain call
Shows are a never-ending life, of course
A silhouette that stays when you are gone
What use is the struggle and the strife, old horse?
End it and your legacy lives on
The chatter stops, the crowd departs
A needle drops, the music starts
A song you taught me when I was small
Don't stop dancing
Don't stop dancing
