Can't Stop the Show Lyrics


There's a man in a booth with a quarter in there
And a girl out on the runway with peroxide in her hair
Move 'em in quick, they pay out
And then they just sit there and stareNow drink that drink and smoke that smoke
Old mister johnson turns blue and starts to choke
Somebody slap him on the backNow the curtains go up
And both lights go on
And betsy's out there in her birthday suit
Spinnin' her batonChorus:
And they don't know what we know
Nobody knows what we know
(and) no matter what they try to do
They can't stop the showNow, girls, I'm proud of every one of you
Cass, spit out your gum, it don't look good when you chew
And I've told you time and time before
You're a showgirl, not a whore
Jack, pick up the phone, is it those jerks again?
You'd think they'd know by now that these girls just dance and grin

Just good clean entertainment
We don't handle no tricky-business in hereThe curtains go up
And both lights go on
And betsy's in her birthday suit
Spinnin' her baton
But I think she did it better last year
Before her boyfriend broke her armChorus:
And they don't know what we know
Nobody knows what we know
And no matter what they try to do
They can't stop the show repeat four more times

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Stan Ridgway's tenure with Wall of Voodoo may have launched him to semi-stardom, but his solo musical style is more blues rock, almost Americana-ish, than WoV's big hit "Mexican Radio." Multiple solo albums and collaborations later, Ridgway morphs with each release. Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Stan Ridgway was the original lead singer for the band Wall of Voodoo, singing on their debut EP and first two albums, including their only hit song, "Mexican Radio".
