- Songwriters: 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
Frenzy and frolic
Strictly symbolic
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight
Something familiar
Something peculiar
Something for everybody
Comedy tonight
Something that's gaudy
Something that's bawdy
Something for everybody
Comedy tonight
Nothing that's grim
Nothing that's Greek
She plays Medea
Later this week
Stunning surprises
Cunning disguises
Hundreds of actors out of sight
Pantaloons and tunics
Courtesans and eunuchs
Funerals and chases
Baritones and basses
Panderers, philanderers
Cupidity, timidity
Mistakes, fakes
Rhymes, crimes
Tumblers, grumblers
Bumblers, fumblers
No royal curse, no Trojan horse
And a happy ending, of course
Goodness and badness
Panic is madness
This time it all turns out all right
Tragedy tomorrow
Comedy tonight
