Brush Up Your Shakespeare

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 think you're a heckuva fella.
 If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er
 Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer,
 And if still, to be shocked, she pretends well,
 Just remind her that "All's Well That Ends Well."
 Brush up your Shakespeare
 And they'll all kowtow.
 Brush up your Shakespeare,
 Start quoting him now.
 Brush up your Shakespeare
 And the women you will wow.
 If your goil is a Washington Heights dream
 Treat the kid to "A Midsummer Night Dream."
 If she fights when her clothes you are mussing,
 What are clothes? "Much Ado About Nussing."
 If she says your behavior is heinous
 Kick her right in the "Coriolanus."
 Brush up your Shakespeare
 And they'll all kowtow,
 And they'll all kowtow,
 And they'll all kowtow.
 Brush up your Shakespeare,
 Start quoting him now.
 Brush up your Shakespeare
 And the women you will wow.
 Brush up your Shakespeare
 And they'll all kowtow,
