I'm inviting you to my vaudeville  "Oui encore" you say, "And on with the show"  Ladies, gentlemen, before I sing to you  The light that shines twice as bright  Burns half as long  Come let me entertain you all  Leave me all your troubles big and small  Life's a ball, life's a ball  Hitch a ride on my crooked merry-go-round  Hear the clinking-clanking sound  Of the song that I bring  Take my song, take my hand, never let me down,  Like love let me down, like love pushed me around  So long, goodbye, I lost, did try  This is the last song I'll ever sing  The last song I'll sing  I played in the cabaret of love  I wore heart, fist and glove.  Push and shove, push and shove...  And all for love  Take my song, take my hand, never let me down,  Like love let me down, like love pushed me around  So long, goodbye, I lost, did try  This is the last song I'll ever sing  The last song I'll sing  This is the last song I'll ever sing  The last song I'll sing  Here, with words that can't be said  We take songs to our bed  Sing-a-long, sing-a-long... to my last song.
