Don’t Stop Dancing Till The Curtains Fall is a song performed by Gina in "The Show Stopper" in BoJack 's mind when he was on painkillers during The Showstopper.

Lyrics

[Gina] BoJack, what are we doing?

[BoJack] What?

[Gina] All this running around-

[BoJack] Gina, someone is trying to take me down; take the show down!

[Gina] So what? You solve this little mystery; fix this little hole and then everything will be fine?

[BoJack] I'm doing this for you Gina!

[Gina] You don't want that; for everything to be fine; how dreadfully boring. [Spotlight, actual song begins]

[BoJack] Huh?

[Gina begins]

Life is a neverending show, my friend,

A twisting-turning-ever bending show'~

[BoJack] Huh? (weird human versions of BoJack's subordinates appear)

The audience is everyone you know, my friend;

Leave them with a smile when you gooo~

You can bet, that you're a star, so don't forget

How fun you are!

Get up there and give it your all~

And don't stop dancing, don't stop dancing till the curtains fall~!

[BoJack] Ahh! (falls through a trap door that leads to BoJack's regrets)

You are a rotten little cald mon frere;

Spun by forces you don't understand!

Living is a bitter-nasty slough mein herr;

Why not sell your sadness as a brand~?!

Paint your face and brush your mane and find someplace to cut your pain-

To portions we can buy at the mall~!

And don't stop dancing - no you can't stop dancing till the curtains fall~!

Aw shucks!

[BoJack] Ahh! (Brought out into a tap-dancing human version of Beatrice who dances into a casket)

Today's the day you've got the spark and find the way to make your mark and get your tiny name on that wall~!

So don't stop dancing - baby don't stop spinnin'!

Don't stop melting buddy - now we're winnin'!

Grief consumes you - but you just keep grinnin'!

The ache becomes you - and it's just beginnin'!

Don't stop dancin'-

Nothing's certain but the curtain~! [SMASH]

Trivia

Many parts of this song reference the reality of entertainment, how a celebrity must persist on becoming more and more popular even during stressful times, and how their work is never done until the curtain falls (they perish).

- BoJack had to continue working even when losing his friend Herb. He even continued work after destroying a friendship with Charlotte.
- Gina had to continue work even after being assaulted and almost killed by BoJack, and she even needed to settle the incident unjustly in order to continue her work as an actress.
