The curtain's always open
All the casting has been done
No need to suffer an audition
There's just one cue and then you're on
There's no script you must remember
Just make the words up as you go
No one at stage front to direct you
No one at the stage door that you know
No one sits there watching
And no one calls for more
When your part is almost over
There's no chance of an encore
Life is just a drama
Don't let it pass you bye
You've got to play your part
This life ain't no rehearsal
You won't get another try
Life is just a drama
With no ovation when you die
You better get it right
This life ain't no rehearsal
You won't get another try
So playing your part wisely
In your very own character role
Will help to make this wide world
A richer place when you go
Life is just a drama
Don't let it pass you bye
You've got to play your part
This life ain't no rehearsal
You won't get another try
Life is just a drama
With no ovation when you die
You better get it right
This life ain't no rehearsal
You won't get another try
Life is just a drama
Life is just a drama
Life is just a drama
Life is just a drama
