The clown
With his pants
Falling down
Or the dance
That's the 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 'em
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 doing him
Dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world
Of entertainment!
It might be
A scene
Like you see
On a screen
A flame
Getting slain
For the love
Of a queen
Some great
Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost stands
On Prince Street
And everything ends
In minced meat
The gang may be
Waving a flag
That began with
Some mystical hand
Hip hooray
The American way
The world is a stage
The stage is a world
Of entertainment...!
