Sie setzen jeden Abend deine Maske auf Und sie spielen Wie die Rolle es verlangt. An das Theater haben sie ihr Herz verkauft Sie stehn oben und die unten schaun sie an. Sie sind König Bettler Clown I'm Rampenlicht Doch wie's tief in ihnen aussieht Sieht man nicht: Theater Theater Der Vorhang geht auf Dann wird die Bühne zur Welt. Theater Theater Das ist wie ein Rausch Und nur der Augenblick zählt. Wie ein brennendes Fieber Wie ein Stück Glückseeligkeit Ein längst vergessner Traum Erwacht zum Leben Theater Theater Gehaßt und geliebt Himmel und Hölle zugleich. Und der Clown Der muß lachen Auch wenn ihm zum weinen ist Und das Publikum sieht nicht Daß eine Träne fließt Und der Held Der muß stark sein Und kämpfen für das Recht Doch oft ist ihm vor Lampenfieber schlecht. Alles ist nur Theater Und ist doch auch Wirklichkeit Theater - das Tor zur Phantasie. Theater Theater Ihr schenkt uns Applaus Wir geben alles für euch Und lachen und weinen für euch Ja Wir geben alles für euch.
