William Shakespeare & the Quills Horrible Histories (Ft. Mathew Baynton)

[WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE]
My name is Shakespeare, William
I owned a feather quill, I am
The writer most familiar to you
My way with words amazes me
Came up with so many phrases me
That still the number dazes me too
Oh, “You’ve got to be cruel to be kind”
“If truth were known”, “Love is blind”
Yet each of these quotes you will find
It’s what I do

“Seen better days” (That’s one of his)
Ah, “Salad days” (He is the biz)
“All the world’s a stage”
They call me Billy Whizz
May seem kind of scary
I’m a walking dictionary
Sturdy with the wordy Shakespeare

“Quality of mercy is not strained”
“Such stuff as dreams are made”
“Off with his head”
My phrases you’ll note
“This is the short and long of it”
“Brevity is the soul of wit”
“As good luck would have have it”
You can quote
Oh you suffered “Green-eyed jealousy”
Please do not “Stand on ceremony”
I wrote “The Queen’s English”
Queen’s English I wrote
