“To Be or Not to Be”

Now I’m a little shy
I like to stay home-ee-oh
Shakespeare’s my guy
Julie and Romeo

Now I have found a girl so dear
She cares not if Will was a queer
Who cares if Hammy really loved his ma?

To be or not to be my lover
To be, there could not be another
To be or not to be’s my plea
It’s as you like it you know
To me, there could not be another
In hardback or in paper cover
To be or not to be’s my plea

Some like the sun
They’d be a Bard-badian
We think it’s fun
You can Stratford on Avon

Kids go out to a disco show
We stay and praise Malvolio
Who cares if Will
He dressed his guys as chicks?

To be or not to be my lover
To be, there could not be another
To be or not to be’s my plea
It’s as you like it you know
Do do do do-do do do do-do
Do do do do-do do do do-do
Do do do do-do do (To be)

We are a couplet, heaven knows
Undo my doublet, baby
And I’ll undo your hose

To be or not to be my lover
To be, there could not be another
To be or not to be’s my plea
It’s as you like it you know
To me, there could not be another
In hardback or in paper cover
To be or not to be’s my plea

It’s as you like it you know
Do do do do-do do do do-do
Do do do do-do do do do-do
To be or not to be’s my plea

It’s as you like it you know
Do do do do-do do do do-do
Do do do do-do do do do-do
