Fading away, near the end of the road?
Did you hear the carnival, the cheering crowd?
We were dancing; your story was a heavy load
Artists, all, sing your praises, we’re not cowed

With Will Govan as Oscar Wilde in Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes
Time to rest; cartoons, your lives coloured in
Sent across the world, we’re not done yet
Your cabaret begins again, time to win
Show us. We love you. We won’t forget.
Tears of joy again after many tears of sorrow
Time banished, the stage dances, a merry band
Beginning, once more, like there’s no tomorrow
We gather ‘round, you whisper ‘hold my hand’
None will forget the spectacles you both made
The show renews on foundations you have laid
