IT'S NINETEEN SIXTY-ONE, A TIME OF THEATRE INNOVATION,
ALL COMMERCIAL GIMMICKS, ALL THEATRICAL SENSATION.
THERE'S THEATRE IN THE PARK,
THEATRE UNDERGROUND, THEATRE UNDERSEA AND THEATRE IN THE ROUND.
THEATRE IN A TENT, THEATRE IN A POOL, THEATRE IN A HORSESHOE, THEATRE IN A STOOL.
BUT ALL THIS SIMPLY LEAVES ME WITH A RATHER HEAVY THUD;
THERE'S JUST ONE KIND OF THEATRE FOR THE THEATRE IN MY BLOOD.

FOR I WAS BORN TO PLAY THE TWO A DAY
(--I'M ONLY EXCITED AND ONLY IN PRESSED BY A CORNY ROUTINE IN A CHECKERBOARD VEST.
VAUDEVILLE THRILLS ME.--)
THE HOKE, THE CORN, THE EMPTY MATINEE.
(--HOW CAN I EVER BEGIN TO EXPLAIN WHY A SHUFFLE THAT'S DONE WITH A HAT AND A CANE
REALLY KILLS ME.--)
AND SO I KNOW THAT VAUD'VILLE'S JUST ASLEEP,
(--THIS CURRENT RAZZMATAZZ, ROCK AND ROLL AND JAZZ,
ALL THAT NOISE THAT PEOPLE MAKE,--)
AND SO I GOTTA KEEP ON DANCIN' TILL I RAKE IT UP AND DIG IT UP AND WAKE IT UP!
(--HOW CAN'T IT POSSIBLY BE COMPARED TO THE ELECTRIC IN THE AIR,
WHEN THE GUY IN PATS YELLS "BREAK TWO THREE!"--)
I GET NO THRILL FROM THIS ATOMIC AGE,
MY IS STILL UPON THE PALACE STAGE;
WHEN LIFE'S A SONG AS LONG AS I CAN SAY: I BELONG TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE TWO A DAY!

FOR I WAS BORN TO PLAY THE TWO A DAY
(--I'M ONLY EXCITED AND ONLY IN PRESSED BY A CORNY ROUTINE IN A CHECKERBOARD VEST.
VAUDEVILLE THRILLS ME.--)
THE HOKE, THE CORN, THE EMPTY MATINEE.
(--HOW CAN I EVER BEGIN TO EXPLAIN WHY A SHUFFLE THAT'S DONE WITH A HAT AND A CANE
REALLY KILLS ME.--)
AND SO I KNOW THAT VAUD'VILLE'S JUST ASLEEP,
(--THIS CURRENT RAZZMATAZZ, ROCK AND ROLL AND JAZZ,
ALL THAT NOISE THAT PEOPLE MAKE,--)
AND SO I GOTTA KEEP ON DANCIN' TILL I RAKE IT UP AND DIG IT UP AND WAKE IT UP!
(--HOW CAN'T IT POSSIBLY BE COMPARED TO THE ELECTRIC IN THE AIR,
WHEN THE GUY IN PATS YELLS "BREAK TWO THREE!"--)
I GET NO THRILL FROM THIS ATOMIC AGE,
MY IS STILL UPON THE PALACE STAGE;
WHEN LIFE'S A SONG AS LONG AS I CAN SAY: I BELONG TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE TWO A DAY!
WHERE I CAN TELL MY JOKES, SING MY SONG,
SHOW THE FOLKS THAT I BELONG TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE TWO A DAY!
