I don’t have much to say         Thought I’d call you up any-way   Just to try to show you the way That I feel today Oh I miss you ba-by   I sure am on the road   I don’t need to say much more   Just the same old well-known stranger That I was before It seems like yesterday now   Daddy’s all gone        Only halfway home       He’s holding on to the telephone   Saying Please don’t let the show go on. - There’s a bus every other hour There’s even the midnight train But that don’t leave me the power To see your face again } It’s not that simple You see there’s a room full of smiling faces There’s a man standin’ by the door Says it’s time to change our places And get down on the floor } Kill ’em baby Daddy’s all gone He’s just halfway home He’s holding on to the microphone Singing Please don’t make the show go on. - - - - }
