作曲：Cole Porter

The girls today in society go for classical poetry

So to win their hearts one must quote with ease

Aeschylus and Euripides

But the poet of them all

Who will start them simply raving

Is the poet people call

The Bard of Stratford on Avon

Brush up your Shakespeare

Start quoting him now

Brush up your Shakespeare

And the women you will wow

Just declaim a few lines from Othella

And they'll think you're a hell of a fella

If your blond won't respond when you flatter

Tell her what Tony told Cleopatterer

If she fights when her clothes you are mussing

What are clothes Much ado about nussing

Brush up your Shakespeare

And they'll all kow-tow

With the wife of the British ambessida

Try a crack out of Troilus and Cressida

If she says she won't buy it or tike it

Make her tike it what's more As You Like It

If she says your behavior is heinous

Kick her right in the Coriolanus

Brush up your Shakespeare

And they'll all kow-tow thinkst thou

And they'll all kow-tow odds Bodkins

All kow-tow
