The Band Wagon movie - That's Entertainment lyrics

rate me

<br>

Sung by Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray, <br>

Fred Astaire and jack Buchanan<br>

<br>

Jack :<br>

Everything that happens in life<br>

Can happen in a show<br>

You can make 'em laugh<br>

You can make 'em cry<br>

Anything<br>

Anything can go....<br>

<br>

The clown with his pants falling down<br>

Or the dance that's a dream of romance<br>

Or the scene where the villain is mean<br>

That's entertainment!<br>

<br>

Nanette : The lights on the lady in tights<br>

<br>

Oscar : Or the bride with the guy on the side<br>

<br>

Jack : Or the ball where she gives him her all<br>

<br>

All : That's entertainment!<br>

<br>

Nanette : The plot and the hot simply teeming with sex<br>

<br>

Oscar : A gay divorcee who is after her ex<br>

Fred : It could be Oedipus Rex<br>

<br>

Jack : <br>

Where a chap kills his father <br>

And causes a lot of bother<br>

<br>

Nanette : The clerk who is thrown out of work<br>

Oscar : By the boss who is thrown for a loss<br>

Fred : By the skirt who is doing him dirt<br>

<br>

All : <br>

The world is a stage, <br>

The stage is a world of entertainment.<br>

That's entertainment!<br>

That's entertainment!<br>

<br>

The doubt while the jury is out<br>

Or the thrill when they're reading the will<br>

Or the chase for the man with the face<br>

That's entertainment!<br>

<br>

Nanette : The dame who is known as the flame<br>

Jack : Of the king of an underworld ring<br>

<br>

Oscar and Fred : <br>

He's an ape<br>

Who won't let her escape<br>

<br>

All : That's entertainment!<br>

<br>

It might be a fight like you see on the screen<br>

A swain getting slain for the love of a queen<br>

Some great Shakespearean scene<br>

Where a ghost and a prince meet<br>

And everyone ends in mincemeat.<br>

<br>

The gag may be waving the flag<br>

That began with a mystical hand<br>

Hip hooray! <br>

The American way<br>

The world is a stage, <br>

The stage is a world of entertainment <br>

<br>
