That's Entertainment - Fred Astaire/Nanette Fabray/Jack Buchanan/India Adams
Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show;
You can make 'em laugh
You can make 'em cry
Anything anything can go
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 her all
That's entertainment
The plot can 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 a lot 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
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
The doubt
While the jury is out
Or the thrill
When they're reading the will
Or the chase
For the man with the face
That's entertainment
The dame
Who is known as the flame
Or the king
Of an underworld ring
He's an ape
Who won't let her escape
That's entertainment
It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A swain getting slain for the love of a queen
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet
And everyone ends in mincemeat
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 entertainment
