Comedy Tonight (A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum) - Stanley Holloway
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
Something familiar
Something peculiar
Something for everybody
Comedy tonight
No royal curse no Trojan horse
And a happy ending of course
Stunning surprises
Cunning disguises
Hundreds of actors out of sight
Funerals and chases
Baritones and basses
Panderers
Philanderers
Cupidity
Timidity
Mistakes
Fakes
Rhymes
Crimes
Tumblers
Grumblers
Bumblers
Fumblers
Goodness and badness
Panic is madness
This time it all turns out all right
Tragedy tomorrow
Comedy tonight
