Showtime

The seats have been bought
 Overcoats been taken off
 Read the reviews, they were off the charts
 The anticipation is practically steaming in the room
 I hear the set design is state of the art
 A bright young singer is the lead of the show
 He is as handsome as he's talented
 He's got that certain kind of je ne sais quoi
 A potential superstar
 Women and men, ladies and gents
 Upper crust and working folks
 Blockbusters, dishwashers
 Lady killers and floor moppers
 Take to your seats the show starts in ten
 An elder lady clears her throat, then turns to her spouse
 Says she's not quite sure what all this fuss is about
 Dear, the cast has virtually been showered in Tonys
 Lawrence Olivier Awards and Obies
 Line the ladies up in sequin bathing suits of fine design
 Let's marvel as they dance, revel in the glance
 You've never seen more dashing a show
 Bathed in coordinated lighting
 The evening's singer announces his entre'
 In the roaring applause, a pistol he draws
 And blows his brains all over the stage
 Hence it's showtime
 Wretched pantomime
 Is this some sort of sick joke
 Played on well-paying folks
 What a selfish swine
 Showtime
 And from his head on the boards arose
 A cloud of hazy grey smoke
 Showtime
