[Intro]
~#**************#~
Everything that happens in life
~#**************#~
Can happen in a show
~#**************#~
You can make em laugh, you can make em cry
~#**************#~
Anything, anything can go
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
The clown with his pants falling down
~#**************#~
Or the dance, thats a dream of romance
~#**************#~
Or the scene where the villain is mean
~#**************#~
Thats entertainment
~#**************#~
The lights on the lady in tights
~#**************#~
Or the bride with a guy on the side
~#**************#~
Or the ball where she gives it her all
~#**************#~
Thats entertainment
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
~#**************#~
A gay divorcée who is after her ex
~#**************#~
It can be Oedipus Rex
~#**************#~
Where a chap kills his mother 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
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Thats entertainment
~#**************#~
Thats entertainment
~#**************#~
[Saxophone Solo]
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
The doubt while the jury is out
~#**************#~
Or the thrill when theyre reading the will
~#**************#~
Or the chase for the man with the face
~#**************#~
Thats entertainment
~#**************#~
No death like you get in Macbeth
~#**************#~
No ordeal like the end of Camille
~#**************#~
This goodbye brings a tear to the eye
~#**************#~
Thats entertainment
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Admit its a hit and well go on from there
~#**************#~
We played a charade that was lighter than air
~#**************#~
A good old-fashioned affair
~#**************#~
As I sing this finale I hope its up your alley
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
The gag may be wearing a flag
~#**************#~
That began with a Mr. Cohan
~#**************#~
Hip hooray! The American way
~#**************#~
The world is a stage
~#**************#~
The stage is a world of entertainment
