singalong (dirty lyrics provided)
over at terry's blog she talked about ann miller. my favorite ann miller movie bar none is kiss me, kate. let us all join in a lusty rendition of "brush up your shakespeare," shall we?
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And the women you will wow.
Just declaim a few lines from Othella,
And they'll think you're a helluva fella.
If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er,
Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer.
If she fights when her clothes you are mussing...
What are clothes? Much Ado About Nussing!
Brush up your Shakespeare,
And they'll all kowtow.
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 Coriolanus.
Brush up your Shakespeare,
And they'll all kowtow.
If you can't be a ham and do Hamlet,
They will not give a damn or a damnlet.
Just recite an occasional sonnet,
And your lap'll have honey upon it.
When your baby is pleading for pleasure,
Let her sample your Measure For Measure.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And they'll all kowtow.
Better mention The Merchant Of Venice
When her sweet pound o' flesh you would menace.
If her virtue, at first, she defends — well,
Just remind her that All's Well That Ends Well!
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 kowtow.
