Lyrics

Now I'm a little shy
I like to stay homeo
Shakespear's my guy
Julie and Romeo

Now I have found a girl so dear
She cares not if Will he war queer
Who cares not if Hammy made it with his Ma?

To be or not to be my lover

To me 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 Barbadian
We think it's fun
Here in Stratford-on-Avion
Kids go 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
...

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

To be or not to be my lover
It's as you like it you know.
