Shakespeare Lied
Shakespeare lied
When Juliet died
Romeo didn't take poison just because he'd lost his bride
What did he do?
He got over it
He went back to Junior High, and he got over it
And so will you
You'll get over it
So Romeo got himself a life
But then, there's Othello, he murdered his wife!
But Shakespeare lied.
Othello may have cried,
But he never strangled Desdemona 'cause he thought she lied.
What did he do?
He got over it.
She found the handkerchief, and he got over it.
And so will you.
You'll get over it.
Just bear in mind that Shakespeare lied.
Okay, how about Cleopatra?
You recall that asp
In Cleopatra's grasp
Well, she didn't yell "O, Antony'' and gasp her final gasp
You're putting me on!
No!
None the worse from it
She even made a stunning snakeskin purse from it.
And as for you
know!
I'll get over it
You'll get over it
A: Okay, take Hamlet, he's a better test
'Cause there was a guy who was really depressed
But Shakespeare lied
When all those people died
Hamlet didn't just mope around and think of suicide
A: What did he do?
Don't tell me
He got over it
Right!
He got himself some Prozac and got over it
And so will you
You'll get over it
I'll get over it
Love isn't fatal, as a rule
Forget all that stuff you learned in school
And bear in mind, whatever you decide
That Shake ---- A: So he made a mistake
Speare --- And I'm happy to hear he
