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’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 |
