<br>

MOBSTERS:<br>

The girls today in society<br>

Go for classical poetry,<br>

So to win their hearts one must quote with ease<br>

Aeschylus and Euripides.<br>

But the poet of them all<br>

Who will start 'em simply ravin'<br>

Is the poet people call<br>

The bard of Stratford-on-Avon.<br>

<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare,<br>

Start quoting him now.<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare <br>

And the women you will wow.<br>

Just declaim a few lines from "Othella"<br>

And they think you're a heckuva fella.<br>

If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er<br>

Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer,<br>

And if still, to be shocked, she pretends well,<br>

Just remind her that "All's Well That Ends Well."<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare <br>

And they'll all kowtow.<br>

<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare,<br>

Start quoting him now.<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare <br>

And the women you will wow.<br>

If your goil is a Washington Heights dream<br>

Treat the kid to "A Midsummer Night Dream."<br>

If she fights when her clothes you are mussing,<br>

What are clothes? "Much Ado About Nussing."<br>

If she says your behavior is heinous<br>

Kick her right in the "Coriolanus."<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare <br>

And they'll all kowtow,<br>

And they'll all kowtow,<br>

And they'll all kowtow.<br>

<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare,<br>

Start quoting him now.<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare <br>

And the women you will wow.<br>

<br>

Brush up your Shakespeare <br>

And they'll all kowtow,<br>

<br>
