Comedy Tonight (A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum) - Stanley Holloway

作曲：Stephen Sondheim

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

Something familiar

Something peculiar

Something for everybody

Comedy tonight

No royal curse no Trojan horse

And a happy ending of course

Stunning surprises

Cunning disguises

Hundreds of actors out of sight

Funerals and chases

Baritones and basses

Panderers

Philanderers

Cupidity

Timidity

Mistakes

Fakes

Rhymes

Crimes

Tumblers

Grumblers

Bumblers

Fumblers

Goodness and badness

Panic is madness

This time it all turns out all right

Tragedy tomorrow

Comedy tonight
