Comedy Tonight And Playout Lyrics

Stephen Sondheim Comedy Tonight And Playout

PSEUDOLUS
Lovers divided
Get coincided.
Something for everyone -

HERO and PHILIA
A comedy tonight!

PSEUDOLUS
Father and mother
Get one another.

DOMINA
Something for everyone -

SENEX
A tragedy tonight!

MILES
I get the twins!
They get the best!

ERRONIUS
I get a family.

HYSTERIUM
I get a rest.

SOLDIERS
We get a few girls.

LYCUS
I'll get some new girls.

PSEUDOLUS
I get the thing I want to be:
FREE!

ALL
Free!
Free!
Free!
Free!
Free!

Nothing for kings,
Nothing for crowns,
Something for lovers liars and clowns!

What is the moral?
Must be a moral.
Here is the moral, wrong or right:

PSEUDOLUS
Morals tomorrow!

ALL
Comedy, Comedy, Comedy,
Comedy, Comedy, Comedy,
Comedy, Comedy,
Comedy Tonight!
