Lyrics: Madonna Does Shakespeare

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.

One, two, three, four-sooth

That's one

Do you believe in love? Well, Willie Shakespeare had something to say about it. And it goes something like this:

I worked hard to be a star
Who do these young folks think they are
If Nicole Kidman can sing
I can do Shakespeare

I can see myself standing on a battlement
Wearing a conical bra.
Eight muscle men surround me as I descend the stairs
And play Henry IV

And when I read the morning news
And when I read the morning news
My show will open to reviews

I worked hard to be a star
Who do these young folks think they are
If Nicole Kidman can sing
I can do Shakespeare

Then I'll break new ground - the first white female
To play the role of Othello
I could add a plot point involving an antique shotgun
And a diamond heist

Full of Cockneys for effect
Full of Cockneys for effect
Just so my husband can direct

Oh, Guy, will you direct my play for me
You'll be perfect for the bard-man
As long as it involves an antique shotgun
And Vinnie Jones as a hard man

We'll be laughing all the way to the Banquo

I could make a book of nudie pictures of myself
As all the various characters
Picture Macbeth hitchhiking, with a dagger in one hand
And his arse in the other

A documentary, just for truth
A documentary, just for truth
And now I have to say forsooth

I worked hard to be a star
(Forsooth... forsooth... forsooth... forsooth)
Who do these young folks think they are
(Forsooth... forsooth)
If Nicole Kidman can sing
(Forsooth... forsooth... that's eleven)
I can do Shakespeare

One, two, three, four-sooth
