Overture, curtain, lights!
This is it, the night of nights!
No more rehearsing or nursing a part
We know every part by heart!
Overture, curtain, lights!
This is it, we'll hit the heights!
And oh, what heights we'll hit!
On with the show, this is it!
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
-- James Nicoll
