That's Entertainment

Tony Bennett

(Howard Deitz/Arthur Schwartz)



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 doing him dirt.

The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment
