Rufus Wainwright That's Entertainment song lyrics

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 lights on the lady in tights

Or he bride with the guy by her side

Or the ball where she gives it 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 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 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 guy maybe 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
