Finale: Comedy Tonight Songtext
von 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
Open up the curtain
Something familiar
Something peculiar
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!
Something exotic
Something erotic


Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!
Nothing that′s grim
Nothing that's Greek
I′ll play 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!
