to the tune of The Mercenary

Playful skill, on the loose
Wanted, wonder which are you
Diablo! Come again
To make showbiz for us, Jan

Make a spin, like a spool
One more run, that is cool
With this beat, we cry great
Know his breath will ever last

So there you run, so there you stride
You get a thrill out of playing live
So there you run, so there you stride
You get a thrill out of playing live

Showtime is near, showtime again
Showtime is near, showtime with Jan
Showtime is near, showtime again
Showtime is near, showtime with Jan

True Jan-art you can find
Arms-guitar intertwined
Focus sharp, fast as light
Watch the young dude, turning sprite

Head to toe, throw and strike
Everyone's taught delight
Iron brings Eddie's fist
Fight and hit, have fun with this

So there you run, so there you stride
You get a thrill out of playing live
So there you run, so there you stride
You get a thrill out of playing live

Showtime is near, showtime again
Showtime is near, showtime with Jan
Showtime is near, showtime again
Showtime is near, showtime with Jan!!
