Zidler (spoken): The show must go on, Satine We're creatures of the underworld We can't afford to love
Satine (sung): Today's a day
Both (sung): When dreaming
Satine (sung): Ends

Zidler (spoken):
Another hero
Another mindless crime
Behind the curtain
In the pantomime
(sung): On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?

Zidler and Chorus (sung):
Whatever happened
We leave it all to chance
Another heartache
Another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?

Zidler (sung):
The show must go on
The show must go on

Zidler and Chorus (sung):
Outside the dawn is breaking on the stage
That holds our final destiny
The show must go on
The show must go on

Satine (sung crying):
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile
Still stays on

Zidler and Chorus (sung):
The show must go on
The show must go on

Satine (sung):
I'll top the bill
I'll earn the kill
I have to find the will
To carry on with the
On with the
On with the show

Zidler (spoken):
On with the show
On with the show

Chorus:
The show must go

Zidler:
The show must go on
