arthur schwartz - that's entertainment! lyrics

Loading...

(verse)
[jeffrey]
anything that happens in life
can happen in a show
you can make ’em laugh
you can make ’em cry
anything, anything can go

(chorus)
[jeffrey]
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!

[lily]
the lights
on the lady in tights

[lester]
or the bride
with the guy on the side

[jeffrey]
or the ball
where she gives him her all

[jeffrey, lester, and lily]
that’s entertainment!

[lily]
the plot
could be hot
simply teeming with s-x

[lester]
a g-y
divorcee
who is after her ex

[tony]
it could be oedipus rex

[jeffrey]
where a chap k!lls his father
and causes a lot of bother

[lily]
the clerk
who is thrown out of work

[lester]
by the boss
who is thrown for a loss

[tony]
by the skirt
who is doing him dirt

[all]
the world is a stage
the stage is a world
of entertainment!

(instrumental break)

[all]
the doubt
while the jury is out
or the thrill
when they’re reading the will
or the chase
for the man with the face
that’s entertainment!

[lily]
the dame
who is known as the flame

[jeffrey]
of the king
of an underworld ring

[tony and lester]
he’s an ape
who won’t let her escape

[all]
that’s entertainment!
it might
be a fight
like you see on the screen
a swain
getting slain
for the love of a queen
some great shakespearean scene
where a ghost and a prince meet
and everyone ends in mincemeat
the gag
might be waving the flag
that began
with a mr. cohan
hip hooray
the american way!
the world is a stage
the stage is a world
of entertainment!
