Joe and the space travellers arrive in the Gaiety Theatre, Uranus as The Great Innuendo and his assistant, Glenda The Mystic, are performing.  Never one to miss an opportunity, Joe spoils the show by insisting on demonstrating the Robot Mark III with disastrous results. 

Verse 1
We’re the best show in the galaxy, the greatest show you’ll find,
Let Innuendo do his tricks and Glenda read your minds,
We’ve performed for royal patronage and a president or two,
We’ve impressed them, let’s do it again and let us impress you.

Chorus
With a flash and a bang and a wallop and a whee!
With a flash and a bang and a wallop and a whee we make things disappear,
The greatest show you’ll ever see, the greatest show round here,
We tour throughout the galaxy to asteroids and stars,
The greatest show, by Jupiter, the greatest show by far!

Verse 2
Both:  We do tricks with skill and daring
Innuendo: And I do tricks with cards
Glenda: And in that suit he’s wearing that makes it rather hard.
Innuendo: With skill and with precision I shoot a pistol blind,
Glenda: And I stand there, no sign of fear.
Innuendo: She must be our her mind.

Chorus
With a flash and a bang and a wallop and a whee!
With a flash and a bang and a wallop and a whee we make things disappear,
The greatest show you’ll ever see, the greatest show round here,
We tour throughout the galaxy to asteroids and stars,
The greatest show, by Jupiter, the greatest show by far!
