Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know how the story goes
With a six string knife and his streetwise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true

See Frankie was fast, he was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose
And she knows he'd finally come too close

Well on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no
Well on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no

He was bad he was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew all these lies would come true
The time has come and he paid his dues
And Suzie finally got the news
She always knew this day would come soon

Well it's on with the show, going on with the show come on baby no no no
Going on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no

Stopped on a dime with a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life
And she knew she'd have to pull through
Broken down with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye he said listen to me
You must go on with the show

On with the show going on with the show, come on baby no no no
On with the show going on with the show, come on baby no no no
On with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no
Ooo bab
