Mordru
That's Entertainment! was a popular song written by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz, and was first published in 1952.
Mordru once sang a sort of "evil" version of the song to the Super Friends at their Hall of Heroes, after which Batman tosses a cream pie in his face.[1]
Original Lyrics[]
- The Clown With His Pants Falling Down
- Or The Dance That's A Dream Of Romance
- Or The Scene Where The Villain Is Mean
- That's Entertainment!
- The Lights On The Lady In Tights
- Or The Bride With The Guy On The Side
- Or The Ball Where She Gives Him A Roar
- That's Entertainment!
- The Plot Can Be Hot, Simply Teeming With Sex
- A Gay Divorcee Who Is After Her Ex
- It Can Be Oedipus Rex
- Where A Chap Kills His Father
- And Causes A Lot Of Bother
- The Clerk Who Is Thrown Out Of Work
- By The Boss Who Is Thrown For A Loss
- By This Girl Who Is Doin' Him Dirt
- The World Is A Stage,
- The Stage Is A World Of Entertainment!
- It Might Be A Fight Like You See On The Screen
- A Swain Getting Slain For The Lot Of A Queen
- Some Great Shakespearean Scene
- Where A Ghost And A Prince Meet
- And Everyone Ends In Mincemeats
- The Gag May Be Waving The Flag
- That Began With A Mystical Hand
- Hip Hooray, The American Way
- The World Is A Stage,
- The Stage Is A World Of Entertainment!
Mordru's Version[]
- You May Not Be So Anxious To Abuse Us
- You Try To Understand What Things Amuse Us
- A Brute Who Thinks Torture Is Cute
- Or A Cheat Who Finds Larceny Neat
- Or A Swine Who Says Murder's Divine
- That's Entertainment!
- A Flood Turning Cities To Mud
- Or A Blaze That Keeps Burning For Days
- Or A Quake Even Richter Can't Take
- That's Entertainment!
- Now It Might Be A Blaze On The Crops Of Iran
- A Drought Wiping Out All The Rice In Japan
- Some Great Invention Of Man
- Like An Aerosol Sprayer
- That Kills the Ozone Layer
- A Louse Buys His Grandmother's House
- Ups the Rent Though She Hasn't A Cent
- Granny's Sweet But She's Out On The Street
- Oh The World Is A Mess But Nevertheless It's Entertainment!
- Mayhem!
- Violence!
- Terror!
- Killers, Plunder, Looting
- These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
- Now The Pain Yes The Pain Of A Serious Strain
- The Delight Of A Rattlesnake Bite
- And The Grin When Rigor Mortis Sets In
- That's Entertainment!
- Oh Youth Who's Already Uncouth
- Wants To Meet Pretty Girls On The Street
- With A Plan That Jack The Ripper Began
- That's Entertainment!
- I Dig Any Big Catastrophic Device
- A Ship With A Grip Of A Mountain Of Ice
- I Think Diseases Are Nice
- A Condition That's Chronic
- A Plague That Is Bubonic
- The Jolt Of My Lightning Bolt
- I Can Use On Any One That I Choose
- And Right Now I Will Show You Just How
- And That's My Idea Of Entertainment!
