The girls today in society go for classical poetry |
|
So to win their hearts one must quote with ease |
|
Aeschylus and Euripides |
|
But the poet of them all |
|
Who will start 'em simply ravin' |
|
Is the poet people call |
|
The Bard of Stratford on Avon |
|
Brush up your Shakespeare |
|
Start quoting him now |
|
Brush up your Shakespeare |
|
And the women you will wow |
|
Just declaim a few lines from Othella |
|
And they'll think you're a hell of a fella |
|
If your blond won't respond when you flatter 'er |
|
Tell her what Tony told Cleopatterer |
|
If she fights when her clothes you are mussing |
|
What are clothes? Much ado about nussing |
|
Brush up your Shakespeare |
|
And they'll all kow-tow |
|
With the wife of the British ambessida |
|
Try a crack out of Troilus and Cressida |
|
If she says she won't buy it or tike it |
|
Make her tike it, what's more 'As You Like It' |
|
If she says your behavior is heinous |
|
Kick her right in the Coriolanus |
|
Brush up your Shakespeare |
|
And they'll all kow-tow, thinkst thou? |
|
And they'll all kow-tow, odds Bodkins |
|
All kow-tow |
