The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days Could I have been misguided by the mystic’s ways? The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me Caught between what happened and what could never be… And the road goes on, seeming ever longer On the Way to Mandalay And the road goes on, forever will I wander On the Way to Mandalay… ---

The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it joins some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. ---

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I’ve been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again The only girl I care about has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart ---

What is it that we’re living for? Applause, applause! Nothing I know brings on the glow Like sweet applause You’re thinking you’re through That nobody cares Then suddenly you Hear it starting And somehow you’re in charge again And life’s a ball Trumpets all sing, life seems to swing And you’re the king of it all, 'cause You’ve had a taste of The sound that says love: Applause, applause, applause! ---
