That's Entertainment

Everything that happens in life Can happen in a show You can make 'em laugh You can make 'em cry Anything Anything can go... The clown with his pants falling down Or the dance that's a dream of romance Or the scene where the villain is mean That's entertainment! The lights on the lady in tights Or the bride with the guy on the side Or the ball where she gives him her all That's entertainment! The plot and the hot simply teeming with sex A gay divorcee who is after her ex It could be Oedipus Rex Where a chap kills his father And causes a lot of bother The clerk who is thrown out of work By the boss who is thrown for a loss By the skirt who is doing him dirt The world is a stage, The stage is a world of entertainment. That's entertainment! That's entertainment! The doubt while the jury is out Or the thrill when they're reading the will Or the chase for the man with the face That's entertainment! The dame who is known as the flame Of the king of an underworld ring He's an ape Who won't let her escape That's entertainment! It might be a fight like you see on the screen A swain getting slain for the love of a queen Some great Shakespearean scene Where a ghost and a prince meet And everyone ends in mincemeat. The gag may be waving the flag That began with a mystical hand Hip hooray! The American way The world is a stage, The stage is a world of entertainment
