Come on bring up the curtain and let the play begin
We are actors and here's our gig
Life's a stage where it takes your best to win
So give it your all, folks while you may
Too soon the shadows they call
And someday that curtain will fall

If you are rich, if you are poor
It's all the same, I'm sure
When the curtain comes down
Just go along doing your best
And you'll find peace and rest
When the curtain comes down

What if everything goes wrong?
What if sorrow comes along?
Hide your feelings from the throng
Life can't always be a song
While you are here, if you play fair
You will be welcomed up there
When the curtain comes down

While the heroes applauded, the villain is hissed
The heroine happy
She's fondled and kissed
We smile at the ending, we'll laugh at the clown, hahaha
And when it's all over the curtain, the curtain comes down
