On the Street of The Show
(To the tune of "On the Street Where You Live")


I have often walked down The Haymarket
Stopped outside Her Majesty's to feel that magic glow
Heart begins to pound, excitement's all around
Yes, I'm here on the street of The Show.

Are there lilac trees in this part of town
Maybe not, but in our minds HIS roses bloom and grow
The OGRE queue is there, having so much fun
Yes, we're here on the street of The Show.

And oh! that wonderful feeling
Just to know that HE is so near
In his masked and black-cloaked splendour
And through that mirror HE will suddenly appear!

Now it's time to go through that inviting door
Take our seats and wait to see the chandelier aglow
Auction's over, now HIS fabulous overture
Yes, we're here and it's the start of The Show!

And oh! that glorious music
Lovely costumes, gorgeous sets and candlelight
And the truly wonderful singing
All combine to make our wondering hearts take flight

It's all over now and bows have been taken
Orchestra plays out and phans wipe tears that were aflow
Out on the street again, feel like shouting loud
Yes I'm here and I've just seen THE SHOW !!
