Something familiar, something peculiar,
Something for everyone - A comedy tonight!
Something appealing, something appalling,
Something for everyone - A comedy tonight!
Nothing with Kings, nothing with crowns,
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!
Old situations, new complications,
Nothing portentous or polite:
Tragedy tomorrow, Comedy tonight!
Something expensive, something offensive,
Something for everyone - A comedy tonight!
Passions and potions, constant commotions,
Something for everyone - A comedy tonight!
Nothing with Kings, nothing with Crowns,
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!
Old situations, new complications,
Nothing portentous or polite:
Tragedy tomorrow - Comedy tonight!
Something convulsive, something repulsive,
Something for everyone - A comedy tonight!
Something esthetic, something balletic,
Something for everyone - A comedy tonight!
Nothing with gods, nothing with fate,
Weighty affairs will just have to wait.
Nothing that's formal, nothing that's normal,
No recitations to recite!
Open up the curtain - Comedy tonight!
