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 baby
