That's Entertainment - Laurie Johnson's London Big Band
Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show;
You can make 'em laugh
You can make 'em cry
Anything anything can go
A show that is really a show
Sends you out
With a kind of a glow
And you say
As you go on your way
That's entertainment
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 plot may 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
The gang
May be waving the flag
That began
With a Mister Cohan
Hip hooray
The American way
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of
The world is a stage
Of entertainment
