The world for some years Has been sodden with tears On behalf of the acting profession. Each star playing a part Seems to expect a Purple Heart. It's unorthodox to be born in a box, But it needn't become an obsession. Let's hope we have no worse to plague us Than two shows a night in Las Vegas. When I think of physicians and mathematicians Who don't earn a quarter the dough, When I look at the faces Of people in Macy's, There's one thing I'm burning to know: Why must the show go on? It can't be all that indispensable. To me, it really isn't sensible on the whole, To play a leading role, While fighting those tears you can't control. Why kick up your legs When draining the dregs Of sorrow's bitter cup? Because you have read Some idiot has said 'The curtain must stay up!' I'd like to know Why a star takes bows, Having just returned from burying her spouse. Brave boop-a-doopers, Go home and dry your tears. Gallant old troopers, You've bored us all for years. And if you're so blue, Wet through And thoroughly woe-begone, Why must the show go on? Oh, mammy, Why must the show go on? We're asked to condole With each tremulous soul Who steps out to be loudly applauded. Stars on opening nights Weep when they see their names in lights. Though people who act, As a matter of fact, Are, financially, amply rewarded, It seems, when pursuing their calling, Their suffering's simply appalling. But butchers, and bakers, and candlestick makers
