The painted sets and lights;
The orchestra to set the mood;
For every act tonight.

They made us laugh;
They made us cry;
As make believe befell.
The actors pranced; the dancers danced;
Until the curtain fell.

I saw them in the parking lot;
In sweats and faded jeans;
Their worknight done, and just begun;
The life they led unseen.

Tomorrow theyd be back to do ;
The same job all again; .
Just ordinary people;
Making magic eight to ten.

The play, the stage, the costumes;
The painted sets and lights;
The orchestra to set the mood;
For every act tonight.

They made us laugh;
They made us cry;
As make believe befell.
The actors pranced; the dancers danced;
Until the curtain fell.

I saw them in the parking lot;
In sweats and faded jeans;
Their worknight done, and just begun;
The life they led unseen.

Tomorrow theyd be back to do ;
The same job all again; .
Just ordinary people;
Making magic eight to ten.
