Lyrics
So, you stand there. You stand there looking at me. What!? What would you like me to say? (sung) Flaminio Scala's historical journey (spoken) You're right, it's a disaster. A practical joke (sung) And the joke is on Scala (spoken) Our money gone, eh, Pantalone? Wrong from the start, right Francesco? (sung) Are you hoping I fall to my knees and admit That my dreams are a joke and my jokes are all sh*t? That it's high time I packed up and quit? And here's the comical bit: I've gone without bread Lived close to the bone Got into deep water and sunk like a stone But, now and again, I had risen and flown like a kite And God help the people who don't get the joke Who won't risk a failure Who won't go for broke I dare them to stand in our boots in the mud for one night But do what they do Or say what they day I'd rather be me at the end of the play For what is this life but the beauty of improvisation? Scenes of amazement And constant surprise to us all We live each moment As if we were children discovering creation We rise or we fall But it's always glorious Yes, what is this life but the beauty of improvisation
