cole porter – brush up your shakespeare lyrics
the girls today in society go for cl-ssical 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 oth-lla
and they’ll think you’re a h-ll 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 coriol-n-s
brush up your shakespeare
and they’ll all kow-tow, thinkst thou?
and they’ll all kow-tow, odds bodkins
all kow-tow
