When the Curtain Comes Down

Come on bring up the curtain and let the play being

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 throne

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 are applauded

The villain is hist

The heroin's happy

She's fond of and pissed

We smile at the ending

We'll laugh at the clown

And when it's all over

The curtain,the curtain comes down
