Artist/Band: Pink Floyd
Lyrics for Song: The Show Must Go On
Lyrics for Album: The Wall [1979]



Ooooh, Ma, Oooh Pa

Must the show go on?

Ooooh, Pa. Take me home

Ooooh, Ma. Let me go



There must be some mistake

I didnt mean to let them

Take away my soul.

Am I too old, is it too late?



Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,

Where has the feeling gone?

Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,

Will I remember the songs?

The show must go on.


The Show Must Go On

Released in 1990, this track by Pink Floyd serves as the closing sequence for their concept album The Wall. The song was originally written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour for the 1980 film adaptation of the album, but it was not included in the initial 1980 release. It was later added to the 1990 remastered edition of The Wall, marking its first appearance on a vinyl record. The recording features a distinctive, extended instrumental build-up that culminates in a dramatic, repetitive guitar riff before the vocals return. Thematically, the piece reflects the album's overarching narrative of isolation and the eventual collapse of the protagonist's constructed reality. As a final statement, the song encapsulates the band's ability to blend rock instrumentation with theatrical storytelling, cementing its status as a defining moment in progressive rock history.
