Shakespeare Lied

Congratulations, Kate!

Oh, no

So what's the problem?

You get a wedding dress at Lane Bryant, and -

Oh, Doctor, I'll die!

What, from love?

Never!

Listen

Shakespeare lied

When Juliet died

Romeo didn't get up and commit another suicide

(What did he do?)

He got over it

He caught a little flu

But he got over it

And so will you

You'll get over it

A person with a gripe

Instead of considering taking the pipe

Should take the spiel

Of poor Camille

What do you think was the story before

They cut the final reel?

(Haven't a clue)

She got over it

She gave up cigarettes

But she got over it

And so will you

You'll get over it

What gives the fatal shove

Is very rarely love

The tears that overtake ya

And ache ya in the trachea

Don't kill you till they make you old and gray

You'll get over it

You'll get over it

It's ten to one to go away

One hot spark

Hit Joan of Arc

Would you believe that the lady would burn

Without a last remark?

(What did she say?)

"Get me out of it

I've had a change of heart

So get me out of it"

And so will you

You'll get out of it

So face a gun barrage

Or knock yourself off in your neighbor's garage

But one last gasp

And this you'll grasp

Did she intend it was really the end

When Cleo clutched her asp?

Not on your life

None the worse from it

She even made a stunning lizard purse from it

And as for you

What's the curse from it?

From feeling sort of sick

I'll later get a kick (right!)

From love we all may suffer

But if we weren't tougher

There wouldn't be enough around to say

"You'll get over it

You'll get over it"

Unless you go out and get struck

By lightning or by a truck

It's guaranteed with your hard luck

To go (that's very nice to know!)

Away (take your advice and go away)

Oh yeah!
