The actors and jesters are here The stage is in darkness and clear For raising the curtain And no-one�s quite certain whose play it is How long ago, how long If only we had listened thein. If we�d known just how right we were going to be. For we dreamed a lot And we schemed a lot And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.
If everyone was listening you know There�d be a chance that we could save the show Who�ll be the last clown To bring the house down? Oh no, please no, don�t let the curtain fall
Well, what is your costume today? Who are the props in your play? You�re acting a part which you thought from the start Was an honest one. Well how do you plead? An actor indeed! Go re-learn your lines, You don�t know what you�ve done The finale�s begun.
If everyone was listening you know There�d be a chance that we could save the show, Who�ll be the last clown To bring the house down? Oh no, please no, don�t let the curtain fall.
