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 the guy on the side 
Or the ball where she gives him a roar 

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 this girl who is doing him dirt 

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

It might be a fight like you see on the screen 
A swain getting slain for the lot of a queen 
Some great Shakespearean scene 
Where a ghost and a prince meet 
And everyone ends in mincemeats 
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 entertainment!
