Brush Up Your Shakespeare

Lyrics

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
