Kiss Me, Kate: Brush Up Your Shakespeare

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 hell of 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
 Think style
 And they'll all kowtow
 And they'll all kowtow 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
