Come on bring up the curtain and let the play being
|
We are actors and here's our gig
|
Life's a stage where it takes your best to win
|
So give it your all folks while you may
|
Too soon the shadows they call
|
And someday that curtain will fall
|
|
If you are rich , if you are poor
|
It's all the same I'm sure
|
When the curtain comes down
|
|
Just go along doing your best
|
And you'll find peace and rest
|
When the curtain comes down
|
|
What if everything goes wrong
|
What if sorrow comes along
|
Hide your feelings from the throne
|
Life can't always be a song
|
|
While you are here if you play fair
|
You will be welcomed up there
|
When the curtain comes down
|
|
While the heroes are applauded
|
The villain is hist
|
The heroin's happy
|
She's fond of and pissed
|
We smile at the ending
|
We'll laugh at the clown
|
And when it's all over
|
The curtain,the curtain comes down
|
|
