Some-thing fa-mil-iar, some-thing pe-cul-iar,
Some-thing for ev-'ry-one, a com - e-dy to-night!
Some-thing ap-peal-ing, some-thing ap-pal-ling,
Some-thing for ev-'ry-one, a com - e-dy to-night!

Noth-ing with kings, noth-ing with crowns.
Bring on the lov - ers, li-ars and clowns!__
Old sit - u - a - tions, new com - pli - ca - tions,
Noth-ing por - ten - tous or po - lite;_____
Trag-e-dy   to - mor - row, com-e-dy to-night!

Some-thing con-vul-sive, some-thing re-pul-sive,
Some-thing for ev-'ry-one, a com - e-dy to-night!
Some-thing es-thet-ic, some-thing fre-net-ic, 
Some-thing for ev-'ry-one, a com-e-dy to-night!

Noth-ing of Gods, noth-ing of Fate.
Weigh-ty af-fairs will just have to wait.___
Noth-ing that's for-mal, noth-ing that's nor-mal,
No re - ci - ta - tions to re - cite!
O-pen up the cur-tain, com - e - dy to - night!___
