Brush Up Your Shakespeare Lyrics - Singles - Kiss Me Kate

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
