The ac tors and jesters are here
T he stage is in darkness and clear
F or raising the curtain
and no-one's quite certain whose play it is
H ow long ago how long
If only we h ad listened then.
If we'd k nown just how right we were g oing to be.
For we d reamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we t ried to sing of love before the s tage fell apart. A aah.
I (x57775)f everyone was l istening you know
T (x57775)here'd be a chance that w e could save the show
W ho'll be the last clown
T o bring the house down?
O h no plea se no d on't let t he curta in f ... all
Wel l what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
was an honest one.
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go re-learn your lines
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun.
If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no please no don't let the curtain fall.
