Robbie: On this particular week, Madonna said she wanted to do Shakespeare.  
        Wil and Adam wanted to hear the word "forsooth" in a song ten times.  
        As for Tripod, they just do it for the music, man.   
         
Scod:   One, two, three, four-sooth!   
         
        A# Gm D# A# F 
         
Yon:    That's one!   
        A#                Gm   D#            A#              F            A#            Gm 
Gatesy: Do you believe in love? Well, Willie Shakespeare had something to say about it.  
                    D#             A#(stop) 
        And it goes something like this:   
         
                 A#           Gm 
Tripod: I worked hard to be a star,   
                     A#                     Gm 
        Who do these young folks think they are?   
             A#              D#         C# 
        If Nicole Kidman can sing,   
                        F#      A# 
        I can do Shakespeare.   
         
        A#    Gm         D#            A# F 
Yon:    I can see myself standing on a battlement,   
        A#      Gm 
        Wearing a...   
                    D# A# F 
Tripod: ... conical bra.   
        A#       Gm              D#       A#      F 
Yon:    Eight muscle men surround me as I descend the stairs,   
        A#  Gm           D# A# F 
        And play Henry I Vee.   
         
        D#(lr)                      F(lr) 
Scod:   And when I read the morning news,   
                                    D#(lr) 
Y & G:  And when I read the morning news,   
                                  F(lr) 
Scod:   My show will open to... reviews.   
         
                 A#           Gm 
Tripod: I worked hard to be a star,   
                     A#                     Gm 
        Who do these young folks think they are?   
             A#              D#    C# 
        If Nicole Kidman can sing,   
                        F#      A# 
        I can do Shakespeare.   
         
        A#        m                D#          A#       F 
Gatesy: Then I'll break new ground - the first white female,   
        A# 
        To play...   
            Gm             D# A# F 
Tripod: ... the role of Othello.   
        A#      Gm              D#            A#      F 
Gatesy: I could add a plot point involving an antique shotgun,   
        A#    Gm      D#  A#  F 
        And a diamond heist.   
         
        D#(lr)                  F(lr) 
Scod:   Full of Cockneys for effect,   
                                D#(lr) 
Y & G:  Full of Cockneys for effect,   
                                 F(lr) 
Scod:   Just so my husband can direct.   
         
           A#   Gm           D#        F 
Tripod: Oh, Gu___y, will you direct my play for me?   
       A#         Gm              D#    F 
        You'll be perfect for the bard-man.   
           A#  Gm                    D#      F 
        As lo___ng as it involves an antique shotgun,   
       A#          Gm         D#    F 
        And Vinnie Jones as a hard man.   
         
                 D#(lr) 
Yon:    We'll be laughing all the way to the Banquo...   
         
        (tacet) 
Gatesy: I could make a book of nudie pictures of myself,   
         
        As all the various characters.   
        A#      Gm                  D#                A#  F 
        Picture Macbeth hitchhiking, with a dagger in one hand,   
       A#       Gm          D#  A#  F 
        And his arse in the other.   
         
        D#(lr)                  F(lr) 
Scod:   A documentary, just for truth,   
                                D#(lr) 
Y & G:  A documentary, just for truth,   
                                  F(lr) 
Scod:   And now I have to say "forsooth".   
         
                 A#           Gm 
G & S:  I worked hard to be a star,   
         
Yon:    (In the background) Forsooth... forsooth... forsooth... forsooth..   
                     A#                     Gm 
G & S:  Who do these young folks think they are?   
         
Yon:    Forsooth... forsooth...   
             A#              D#         C# 
G & S:  If Nicole Kidman can sing,   
         
Yon:    Forsooth... forsooth... that's eleven.   
                           
G & S:  I can do Shakespeare.   
        F#(lr)                A#(lr) 
Yon:    One, two, three, four-sooth...
