Karaoké God I Hate Shakespeare Something Rotten! (musical)

Oh God I hate Shakespeare

That's right I said it

No

I do I hate Shakespeare

I just don't get it

Why

How a mediocre actor from a measly little town is suddenly the brightest jewel in England's royal crown

Oh God I hate Shakespeare

His plays are wordy but

Oh no the great Shakespeare

That little turd, he has no

Sense about the audience

He makes them feel so dumb

The bastard doesn't care that my poor ass is getting numb

It's easy I can say it 'cos it's absolutely true

His genius is he's fooling all of you

But he's brilliant

What majesty flows from his pen

His poetry soars like a sweet violin

God's own inspiration like lightning doth strike him

And he captures my soul

Aw jeez you sound just like him

Really

Thanks

You should hate Shakespeare

Well I don't

I try to emulate Shakespeare

Well there's your problem

You're so blinded by The Bard who's such a pompous little man

Why is it a problem to admit that I'm a fan

'Cos he's a hack with a knack for stealing anything he can

I just wish that he would go away

Well that's not gonna happen because everybody I know says that he is the greatest writer that England has ever known

And that's another thing

I hate about Shakespeare is all the twits who bloviate about Shakespeare

And how they prattle on

About his great accomplishments

Well la di da di da

And once they start the gushing there's no stopping them and then it's Blah blah blah

Blah blah Shakespeare

And he walks in it's Dum de dum ta da

Shakespeare

He's holding court and they say

Will you're such a genius and your writing is divine

A rose by any other name is such a clever line

And they're all Ooh and he's all Stop

And they're all Yay and I'm all Ugh

And I'm really getting sick of it

And oh ho ho

God I hate Shakespeare

Shmakespeare

The way he feigns humility when all he does is gloat

The way he wears that silly frilly collar 'round his throat

The poster child for why no one should ever procreate

Let me make a shorter list and I will give it to you straight

Every little thing about Shakespeare is what I hate

Don't hate
