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...
