[Chorus] Road man driving in the road van He's got to beat the clock to the next town Road man driving in the road van I set up the sound system for the band Road man slow it down And you will get there safe and sound He says, "No, no, no the show must go on" [Chorus] [Verse 1] Road man heavy load He's got to stop and smell the rose Road man he says, "No, go I've got to be the king of the road" Of the road
[Verse 2] Road man didn't see the train man Until it was too late to slow the van Meanwhile the band is waiting for the road man Who was crushed by his beloved sound system [Verse 3] Road man slow it down And you will get there safe and sound He says, "No, no, no, no, no, no No, no the show must go on" [Outro] "The show must go on The show must go on The show must go on The show must go on"
