Frankie died just the other night Some say it was suicide But we know how the story goes With his 6-string knife And his street-wise pride The boy was a man before his time And she knew all their dreams would come true Ya see Frankie was fast He was too fast ya know He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose And she knows he'd finally come too close On with the show Goin on with the show Come on baby no no no On with the show Goin on with the show Come on baby no no no He was bad - he was never good But one thing that he understand And she knew all these lies would come true The time has come and he paid his dues And Suzy finally got the news She always knew this day would come soon On with the show Goin on with the show Come on baby no no no On with the show Goin on with the show Come on baby no no no Stuck on a dime with a switch-blade 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 said Suzy listen to me You must go on with the show On with the show Goin on with the show Come on baby no no no On with the show Goin on with the show Come on baby no no no
