The actors and jesters are hereThe stage is in darkness and clearFor raising the curtainAnd no one's quite certain whose play it isHow long ago, how long?If only we had listened thenIf we'd known just how right we were going to beFor we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lotAnd we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apartIf everyone was listening, you knowThere'd be a chance that we could save the showWho'll be the last clown to bring the house downOh no, please no, don't let the curtain fallWell what is your costume today?Who are the props in your playYou're acting a partWhich you thought from the startWas an honest oneWell how do you plead?An actor indeed!Go relearn your linesYou don't know what you've doneThe finale's begunIf everyone was listening, you knowThere'd be a chance that we could save the showWho'll be the last clown to bring the house downOh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
