Charles Strouse - Welcome To The Theatre

Kishore Kumar Hits — Charles Strouse - Welcome To The Theatre lyrics

Artist: Charles Strouse

album: Applause

Welcome to the theatre
To the magic
To the fun
Where painted trees and flowers grow
And laughter rings fortissimo
And treachery's sweetly done
Now you've entered the asylum
This profession unique
Actors are children
Playing hide-and-ego-seek
So, welcome, Miss Eve Harrington
To this business we call show
You're on your way to wealth and fame
Unsheath your claws
Enjoy the game
You'll be a bitch
But they'll know your name
From New York
To Kokomo
Welcome to the theatre
My dear, you'll love it so
Welcome to the dirty concrete hallways
Welcome to the friendly roaches, too
Welcome to the pinches from the stagehands
It's the only quiet thing they do
Welcome to the Philadelphia critics
Welcome, Librium and Nebutal
Welcome to a life of laryngitis
Welcome to dark toilets in the hall
Welcome to the flop
You thought would run for years
Welcome to the world
Of fears and cheers and tears
Welcome to the theatre
With some luck, you'll be a pro
You'll work and slave and scratch and bite
You'll learn to kill with sheer delight
You'll only come alive at night
When you're in a show
Welcome to the theatre
You fool!
You'll love it so
