Comedy Tonight / Love Is in the Air

Something familiar
Something peculiar
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!

Something appealing
Something appalling
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!

Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!
Old situations
New complications
Nothing portentous or polite
Tragedy tomorrow
Comedy tonight!

Something aesthetic
Something frenetic
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!
Something erratic
Something dramatic
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!

Nothing with gods
Nothing with fate
Weighty affairs will just have to wait!
Nothing that's formal
Nothing that's normal
No recitations to recite
Open up the curtain
Comedy tonight!
Tonight

Love is in the air
Quite clearly
People everywhere
Act queerly
Some are hasty, some are halting
Some are simply somersaulting
Love is going around

Anyone exposed (Anyone exposed)
Can catch it
Keep your window closed (Keep your window closed)
And latch it
Leave your house and lose your reason
This is the contagious season
Love is going around
It's spreading
Each minute
Throughout the whole vicinity
Step out and
You're in it
With all the fun involved
Who can stay uninvolved?
Love is in the air (Love is in the air)
This morning
Bachelors beware (Bachelors beware)
Fair warning
If you start to feel a tingle
And you like remaining single
Stay home, don't take a breath
You could catch your death
Cause love is around (Love is around) (Love is around)
Love is around

Something that's gaudy
Something that's bawdy
Something for everybody
Frenzy and frolic
Strictly symbolic
Something for everyone
A comedy tonight!
Nothing that's grim
Nothing that's Greek
She plays Medea later this week
Stunning surprises
Cunning disguises
Hundreds of actors out of sight
Pantaloons and tunics
Courtesans and eunuchs
Funerals and chases
Baritones and basses
Panderers! Philanderers!
Cupidity! Timidity!
Mistakes! Fakes! Crimes! Rhymes!
Tumblers, grumblers, fumblers, bumblers
No royal curse
No Trojan horse
And a happy ending, of course
Goodness and badness
Man in his madness
This time it all turns out all right
Tragedy tomorrow
Comedy tonight!
Comedy tonight, tonight!
Comedy tonight!
