The Only Show in Town - Jesse Winchester

Maybe life is just put on for show

Oh, but it’s the only show in town

It don’t cost a nickel to get in

Oh, but you’ll pay dear to hang around

Maybe love’s a joke you heard before

Still it makes you laugh until you cry

Laugh until you’re rolling on the floor

Till the tears are streaming from your eyes

Oh, la la la la …

Maybe love’s a joke you heard before

Still it makes you laugh until you cry

So tell me that old story once a day

Every day until the day I die

Oh, la la la la …

Maybe life is just put on for show

Oh, but it’s the only show in town

It don’t cost a nickel to get in

Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around

Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around, oh yeah

Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around, yes, you will

Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around, hey hey
