The Writers in the House ft. Shakespeare
SUMMARY:
Rough writers Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlow and Gabriel Spenser all like to drink, fight and get arrested. But what about William Shakespeare?
Parody of Jack Sparrow feat. Michael Bolton
LYRICS:
Yo! Yo! Put down your quill, this show is about to get real!
Writers in the house, drop a beat!
You can call me Jonson I’m straight out of jail
I scribble down my things so that I can post bail.
I wrote thirty plays, I’m a lyrical saviour
Got sent to prison for my lewd behaviour.
Christopher Marlow, street name ‘Kit’.
Did time in Holland ‘cos my cash was counterfeit.
Mention I’m a spy and you’re gonna get hit
Obviously I can’t talk about that bit.
S to the P to the E to the ENSER,
Spenser, an actor, I act more like a fencer.
Stabbed a man but I’m claiming self-defence, yeah.
To the writer’s in the pub, things are getting tenser!
I am Shakespeare, I’m working hard on my writing
I’ve got sound investments, and I’m not into fighting.
My plays are wild, but I’m financially prudent
They want to go to prison, but personally I wouldn’t.
Listen up bro! I killed a man who was armed with some candles.
I’d fight a duel if you wore the wrong sandals.
I’m in jail so much that I’m wearing out my cuffs
You can call us writers but we’re just a bunch of roughs!
I am Shakespeare, I do the job properly
Building my plays and a portfolio of property.
I want to write the greatest plays ever
But staying out of trouble, would seem to be clever.
No, no, no way! I’m gonna die drunk in a fight!
Keep it real, he’s gonna kill me for a slight.
I’m fighting so often, there’s barley time to write
Forget about the quill we’ll be up all night!
Interesting. Her majesty, Queen Elizabeth the First:
I’m Queen, L to the I to the Z.
I’m ruling this land from the sea to the sea.
Shakespeare’s plays are the plays I wanna see
So drop another Falstaff ting on me!
King James, her successor, feeling just the same
I like them so much that I’m giving him my name.
The King’s Men - the greatest in the land.
Isn’t this nice, turned out grand.
