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 them simply raving
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
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
