[Flame] 🔥 Horrible Histories - William Shakespeare & the Quills Lyrics
[WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE]
My name is Shakespeare, William
I owned a feather quill, I am
The writer most familiar to you
My way with words amazes me
Came up with so many phrases me
That still the number dazes me too
Oh, “ You’ve got to be cruel to be kind ”
“ If truth were known ”, “ Love is blind ”
Yet each of these quotes you will find
It’s what I do
“ Seen better days ” (That’s one of his)
Ah, “ Salad days ” (He is the biz)
“ All the world’s a stage ”
They call me Billy Whizz
May seem kind of scary
I’m a walking dictionary
Sturdy with the wordy Shakespeare
“ Quality of mercy is not strained ”
“ Such stuff as dreams are made ”
“ Off with his head ”
My phrases you’ll note
“ This is the short and long of it ”
“ Brevity is the soul of wit ”
“ As good luck would have have it ”
You can quote
Oh you suffered “ Green-eyed jealousy ”
Please do not “ Stand on ceremony ”
I wrote “ The Queen’s English ”
Queen’s English I wrote
“ It’s Greek to me ” (That’s a Shakespeare line)
“ Meat and drink to me ” (He was the first to combine)
“ Infinite variety ”
Yeah, that was one of mine
Don’t call me flakey
I’m William Shakey
Not lazy with the phrasey
Shakespeare
I was the greatest, I was ace
To find a better writer, that’s “ A wild goose chase ”
I was truly brilliant which is why I sing
You can’t have “ too much of a good thing ”
“ If music be the food of love, play on ”
“ Et tu, Brute ” (Did you ever know?)
“ Forever and a day ” (From a Shakespeare show)
“ Good riddance ”, “ Fair play ”
“ Pure as the driven snow ”
“ High time ”, “ Lie low ”
“ Wherefore art thou Romeo ”
The nation’s favourite bard
Shakespeare
Dooby, dooby, dooby
“ To be or not to be ”
Schooby, dooby, dooby
Shakespeare.
