Brush Up Your Shakespeare Lyrics

Brush Up Your Shakespeare lyrics

The girls today in society

Go for classical poetry

So to win their hearts you 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 blond 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 girl 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

Think style

And they'll all kowtow

I [Incomprehensible]

And they'll all kowtow[Incomprehensible]



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
