Comedy Tonight |
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 convulsive, |
Something repulsive, |
Something for everyone: |
A comedy tonight! |
Something aesthetic, |
Something frenetic, |
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! |
Something erratic, |
Something dramatic, |
Something for everyone: |
A comedy tonight! |
Frenzy and frolic, |
Strictly symbolic, |
Something for everyone: |
A comedy tonight! |
Something familiar, |
Something peculiar, |
Something for everybody: |
Comedy tonight! |
Something that’s gaudy, |
Something that’s bawdy-- |
Something for everybawdy! |
Comedy tonight! |
Nothing that’s grim. |
Nothing that’s Greek. |
She plays Medea later this week. |
Stunning surprises! |
Cunning disguises! |
Hundreds of actors out of sight! |
Pantaloons and tunics! |
Courtesans and eunuchs! |
Funerals and chases! |
Baritones and basses! |
Panderers! |
Philanderers! |
Cupidity! |
Timidity! |
Mistakes! |
Fakes! |
Rhymes! |
Crimes! |
Tumblers! |
Grumblers! |
Bumblers! |
Fumblers! |
No royal curse, no Trojan horse, |
And a happy ending, of course! |
Goodness and badness, |
Panic is madness-- |
This time it all turns out all right! |
Tragedy tomorrow, |
Comedy tonight! |
