I said hark, what light through yonder window breaks.
It's the babe with the bod that just can't wait.
I say who's in the garden beatin' round the bush?
That's Romeo checkin' out her tush.
He's outta control, he's running up the ladder.
The girl is hot, he just got to have her.
Will Romeo get Juliet in bed?
Well I hope he gets somethin' before they're both dead!
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Say killing is how Richard's summer was spent.
He said now is the winter of our discontent.
His wife didn't like him and she wanted a divorce,
'Cause he wanted to trade his kingdom for a horse.
Locked his brother in the castle and left him all alone,
He's a hunchback, paddywack, give the prince the throne!
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Yo friends, yo Romans, yo countrymen.
Caesar thought that Brutus was his friend.
He got stabbed in the back, what did he say?
He said, "Hamma, mamma, jamma, et tu Brute?"
He said, "yow," he said, "ow,"
He said, "Hamma, mamma, jamma, et tu Brute?"
He said, "yow," he said, "ow,"
He said, "Hamma, mamma, jamma," that's what I'd say.
Get down.
Alas, poor Yorrick, I knew him well.
When Hamlet dug him up he really looked like hell.
Then his long gone daddy appeared in the dark,
Saying somethin' is rotten in old Denmark.
He said your momma the one that turned me into a ghost,
Cause your uncle's the one she really digs the most.
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Them English majors gonna rant and rave,
They say Shakespeare's spinnin' in his grave.
And if Will was here he'd feel a bit amiss,
Cause we'd give him just a little kiss, like this:
["Walk This Way" guitar part"]
Macbeth and his lady were tryin' to make a baby
When the telephone did ring.
It was three old witches, real ugly kinda bitches,
And they told him he was gonna be king.
King Duncan was the hassle, so they killed him in the castle,
And the stuff really hit the fan.
Lady M she started walkin', in her sleep she started talkin'
'Bout the blood that was on her hand.
Well, clean it up!
Out out, damn spot! (Well get a mop.)
Out out, damn spot! (Pick it up.)
Ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou out out damn spot!
So if you don't enjoy classic 'cause it ain't on plastic,
Then you better think again my man.
Start rappin' with the bard and it won't be hard
To find that you can be a Shakespeare fan with a band.
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down. (Sir Francis Bacon)
Shakin', shakin', shakin' Shakespeare down.
