Lyrics

Gods of the theatre, smile on us You who sit up there stern in judgment, smile on us You who look down on actors And who doesn't? Bless this yearly festival and smile on us We offer you song and dance We offer you rites and revels We offer you grace and beauty Smile on us for this while Gods of the theatre, smile on us You who sit out there stern in judgment, smile on us We offer you song and dance We offer you rites and revels We offer you gods and heroes We offer you jokes and insults We offer you pageants and pageants We offer you bacchanals and social comment Bless our play and smile Yes, but first, some do's and don'ts Mostly don'ts Please don't cough It tends to throw the actors off Have some respect for Aristophanes And please don't cough Please don't squeak We haven't oiled the seats all week You wouldn't want to miss a single word of Greek It's hard enough for us to hear each other speak So please don't squeak If you see flaws, please no loud guffaws Please only because, please There are politer ways As for applause, please when there's a pause, please Although we welcome praise The echoes sometimes last for days Days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days Days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days Days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days
