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 a guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives him her all
That's entertainment
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It can 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 doin' him dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment
Hey!
It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A swain getting slain for the love of a queen
Some Shakespearian 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 entertain...ment...
