That’s Entertainment (Live At Carnegie Hall)

A 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 the guy on the side

Or the ball where she gives it her all

That's entertainment

The plot could be hot, simply teeming with sex

A gay divorcee who is after her ex

It could be Oedipus Rex

Where a chap kills his father and causes lots 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 the screen

A swain being slain for the love of a queen

Some great Shakespearean scene

Where a ghost and a prince meet, and everything ends in mincemeat

The guy could be waving the flag

That began with the mystical hand

Hip hooray, the American way

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