one must quote with ease,
and believe me Bo, Sophocles, also Sappho,
Oh, unless you know Shelley,
Dainty Debbies will call you a dope.
But the poet of them all,
who will start them simply raving,
is the poet people call the
part of Stratford -on -Avon.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
Brush up your Shakespeare,
and the women, you will wow.
Just declaim a few lines from O'teller,
and they'll think you're a hell of a fella.
If your blonde won't respond
tell her what Tony told Cleopatra.
If she bites when her clothes
Brush up your Shakespeare,
and they'll all bow -dow.
Brush up your Shakespeare,
Brush up your Shakespeare,
and the women you will wow.
With the wife of the British ambassador,
try a crack out of Troilus and Crassida.
If she says she won't buy it or take it,
watch more as you like it.
If she says your behavior is heinous,
kick the Reich and the Coriolanus.
Rush up your Shakespeare,
and they'll all bow -tow.
Brush up your Shakespeare,
Brush up your Shakespeare,
and the wo men you will wow.
They will not give a damn or a damlet,
Just recite an occasional sonnet,
And your lap will have Hundy upon it.
When your baby is pleadin' for pleasure,
let her sample your measure
Brush up your Shakespeare,
and they'll all cow -tow.
And they'll all cow -tow. E -face!
And they'll all cow -tow.
Brush up your Shakespeare,
Brush up your Shakespeare,
And the women you will wow.
When her sweet pound of flesh
If a virtue at first she didn't swell,
just remind her that all's
And if still she won't give you a bonus,
you know what Venus got from Adonis.
Brush up your Shakespeare,
and they'll all cow -tow.
And they'll all cow -tow.
Osbourg can still all cow -tow.
If your girl is a Washing
Treat the kid to a midsummer's
If she then wants an all -by -herself night
Let her rest every eleventh or twelfth night
If because of your heat she gets huffy
Simply play on and lay on McDuffie
We travel a long, long time
