Lyrics

[00:02.09] The girls today in society
[00:06.54] Go for classical poetry,
[00:09.57] So to win their hearts one must quote with ease
[00:12.56] Aeschylus and Euripides.
[00:16.00] But the poet of them all
[00:18.80] Who will start 'em simply ravin'
[00:21.69] Is the poet people call
[00:25.10] The bard of Stratford-on-Avon.
[00:28.93] Brush up your Shakespeare,
[00:32.07] Start quoting him now.
[00:35.33] Brush up your Shakespeare
[00:38.38] And the women you will wow.
[00:41.62] Just declaim a few lines from "Othella"
[00:44.35] And they think you're a helluva fella.
[00:47.65] If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er
[00:50.79] Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer ,
[00:53.96] If she fights when her clothes you are mussing,
[00:57.09] What are clothes? "Much Ado About Nussing."
[01:00.68] Brush up your Shakespeare
[01:03.77] And they'll all kowtow.
[01:07.01] With the wife of the British embessida
[01:10.00] Try a crack out of "Troilus and Cressida,"
[01:13.08] If she says she won't buy it or tike it
[01:16.08] Make her tike it, what's more, "As You Like It."
[01:19.61] If she says your behavior is heinous
[01:22.53] Kick her right in the "Coriolanus."
[01:25.72] Brush up your Shakespeare
[01:28.97] And they'll all kowtow,
[01:32.00] And they'll all kowtow,
[01:35.44] And they'll all kowtow.
