That's Entertainment (Live At Carnegie Hall) - Rufus Wainwright
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
