Shakespeare And The Quills by Horrible Histories
Shakespeare And The Quills lyrics
My name is Shakespeare, William,
I owned a feather quill, I am
The writer most familiar to you.
My way with words amazes me,
Came up with so many phrases, me,
That still the number dazes me too!
Oh �You've got to be cruel to be kind�,
�If truth were known�, �Love is Blind�,
Yeah, each of these quotes you will find
It's what I do.
�Seen better days�
(That's one of his!)
Or �Salad days�,
(He is the biz!)
�All the world's a stage!�
They call me Billy-Whizz!
May seem kinda scary, I'm a walking dictionary.
Study with the wordy, Shakespeare
�Quality of mercy is not strained�
�Such stuff as dreams are made�
�Off with his head�,
My phrases you'll note.
�This is the short and long of it�
�Brevity is the soul of wit�
�As good luck would have it� you can quote.
Oh you suffered �Green-eyed jealousy�,
Please do not �Stand on ceremony�
I wrote the Queen's English, Queen's English I wrote.
�It's Greek to me�,
(That's a Shakespeare line!)
�Meat and drink to me�,
(He was the first to combine!)
�Infinite variety�
Yeah, that was one of mine!
Don't call me flaky, I'm William Shakey,
Not lazy with the phrasy, Shakespeare.
I was the greatest, I was ace,
To find a better writer, that's �A wild goose chase�
I was truly brilliant, which is why I sing:
�You can't have too much of a good thing!�
(Spoken) �If music be the food of love, play on!�
�Et tu brute!�
(Did you ever know?)
�Forever and a day�
(From a Shakespeare show!)
�Good riddance�, �Fair play�,
�Pure as the driven snow!�
�High time�, �Lie low�,
�Wherefore art thou Romeo?�
The nation's favourite bard, Shakespeare.
Doo-be doo-be doo-be,
�To be or not to be?�
Shoo-be doo-be doo-be, Shakespeare!
