Little boys and girls
Come out and play
The world is a stage
For me and you to play on
We all are actors
We all are actresses
Do you wanna sit around
Watch your life going by
When you can be anything that you wanna be
And you can do anything that you wanna do
Come on....don' t let it happen to you
Chorus:
The show goes on without you
Forget about your Mama
Forget about your Daddy
They have been to the stage
It' s time for them to move on
You are the star of the show now
Controlling your own destiny
Everybody' s watching
There' s no one to blame
When you can be anything that you wanna be
And you can do anything that you wanna do
Come on...do you wanna sit around
And watch your life go by
Chorus:
The show goes on without you
