是英国摇滚乐队皇后乐队的歌曲，首次发表于其第十四张原创专辑Innuendo(1991年2月5日)中，为专辑最终曲，由乐团四人共同创作。歌名引用了古老的西方谚语。歌词内容表达一名表演者在面临死亡时却笑看生死，继续豪气表演直到最后的情况。由于主唱Freddie Mercury此时确实面临着死亡，且英国媒体自1980年代末以来就一直对他的健康状况强烈好奇，故本曲常被视为他在向外界表达看待自己生命尽头的态度。

1991年10月14日，本曲于英国发表于单曲，配合10月24日的第二张精选辑Greatest Hits II。紧接着，40天后，Freddie Mercury于1991年11月24日死亡。The Show Must Go On成为他在世时发行的最后一张单曲。

艾尔顿强于1992年的Freddie Mercury致敬演唱会与1997年各翻唱过一次本作，1997年的现场版本收录于1999年Queen的第三张精选辑Greatest Hits III中。席琳狄翁于2008年的世界巡回演唱Taking Chances Tour每场也固定演唱本曲向Queen致敬。

The Show Must Go On歌词：

Empty spaces - what are we living for?

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..

On and on!

Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.

Hold the line!

Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The Show must go on!

The Show must go on!Yeah!

Inside my heart is breaking,

My make-up may be flaking,

But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.

Another heartache - another failed romance.

On and on...

Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess i'm learning

I must be warmer now..

I'll soon be turning, round the corner now.

Outside the dawn is breaking,

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!

The Show must go on! Yeah,yeah!

Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!

My make-up may be flaking...

But my smile, still, stays on!

Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,

Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,

I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!

The Show must go on!

I'll face it with a grin!

I'm never giving in!

On with the show!

I'll top the bill!

I'll overkill!

I have to find the will to carry on!

On with the show!

On with the show!
