that s entertainment

Lady Gaga

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 a guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives it her all
That s entertainment

The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcée who is after her ex
It can be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his mother 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
No death like you get in Macbeth
No ordeal like the end of Camille
This goodbye brings a tear to the eye
That s entertainment

Admit it s a hit and we ll go on from there
We played a charade that was lighter than air
A good old-fashioned affair
As I sing this finale I hope it s up your alley

The gag may be wearing a flag
That began with a Mr. Cohan
Hip hooray! The American way
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment
