LYRICS:
That’s right it starts 1589
Yes all these plays of mine
Well, if you’ve got the time…
First up Two Gentlemen of Verona
Play number two was The Taming of the Shrew
Then Henry the Sixth Part Two and Three and
Titus Andronicus, I wrote that too.
Henry Six Part One, kind of a prequel
Henry Three, Richard Three, keeping it regal.
Theatre’s close. Uh-oh, no shows, what to do?
Wrote Sonnets instead - love poems, do you?
Back on track with Comedy of Errors,
Love’s Labours Lost, Love’s Labours Won.
History beckoned, Richard the Second,
I make that a dozen I’ve done.
Romeo and Juliet, I nicked the plot, is where it’s set
Midsummer Night’s Dream, King John (no sweat).
Merchant of Venice, Merry Wives of Windsor
Henry the Fourth, two parts for my sins.
A list of the plays what I wroted
And you’ll find what I wrote often quoted
My back catalogue is looking bloated
Deep breath time…
Much Ado About Nothing, Henry the Fifth
And Julius Caesar, As You Like It.
To be or not to be, Hamlet was writ by me
Twelfth Night, alright, Troilus and Cressida.
Measure for Measure, Othello, All’s Well
Oh dear, King Lear, that didn’t end well!
Timon of Athens and Macbeth
Antony and Cleo, I ain’t finished yet!
A list of the plays what I’ve written
I’m the greatest playwright in Great Britain
Still some more though, if you’re not yet smitten
One last time…
Pericles, Prince of Trye, Coriolanus,
Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline, The Tempest (famous),
Cardenio, Henry Eight and then last up
It’s Two Noble Kingsmen!
The end of the list that I wroted
Not unreasonable how much I’ve gloated
Your respect for my work, duly noted
Will-i-am!
My plays they did bubble and boil
Yes, I brought new life into the soil
Fit for shuffling off this mortal coil
Stood the test of time…
Who’s name do you all remember?
Mine.
