THE INTERMISSION'S GREAT
From : On the Town
(Music: Leonard Bernstein / Lyrics: Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Leonard Bernstein) - 1944


CHORUS:
Wha'd'ya think of the show?
The show, the show, the show.

We don't know how the show is,
But the intermission's great!
We're enthused!
We snoozed.
We're confused.
Opinions seem to differ,
That is why we're in debate!
Here to stay!
Take it away.
Can't say.
The pros and cons are many,
With ifs and buts galore!
We can't agree on whether
It's a beauty, or a bore!

We don't know how the show is,
But the intermission's great!
A landmark in the-a-tre;
We've never seen better!
Do you call this the-a-tre?
To us it's a tomater!
Concerning the the-a-tre
Our opinion doesn't matter.

This drama pounds like a hammer!
This drahma needs an embalmer!
This dremma is a dilemma!
We're enthused!
We snoozed!
We're confused!
Here to stay!
Take it away!
Can't say!
It's swell!
It's hell!
Oh, well.

Opinions seem to differ,
That is why we're in debate!
We don't know 'bout the show,
But the intermission's great!
We snoozed! Enthused! Confused!
