Ducks and drakes
And drama queens
Stand up comedians
Full of beans
Vaudeville acts
With ancient scenes
The smell of the grease paint
Wild kids in their teens
The opening night
Behind ‘dry ice’ smoke screens
The excitement, the thrill
That loud applause means.
Endless ladies queuing
For too few latrines
A drama, a comedy
A murder with fiends
An audience dressed anyhow
Elegance gone, they wear jeans.
The ice cream seller vital
So too, the sweeper who cleans
The theatre, the theatre
The home of our dreams!
