Something Rotten! (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Will Power
We want Will!
We want Will!
Ladies and gentlemen
All the way from Stratford-upon-Avon
The king of couplets
The sultan of sonnets
The man who put the "I am" in iambic pentameter
Please put your hands together for the one, the only, William Shakespeare
Thank you!
Is it good to see me or what?
(Do Sonnet 18!)
(Do "Kingdom for a horse!")
(I love you Will!)
Okay, okay
Here's one for all you beautiful Tudors out there
A little sonnet that's been very good to me
Let's see if you know it!
Shall I compare thee
To a summer's day?
Yeah!
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
And the rough winds shake the darling buds of May, yeah
And summer's lease
Hath all too short a date
I adore the adoration
Though others may abhor it
It's quite a new sensation
What shall we call it?
Will Power
I am the will of the people now
(He is the will of the people now)
Will Power
I am the will of the people now
(He is the will)
Can you feel it?
Oh, I can feel it too
In fact, I'd like to feel you a little bit later
Do you want more? (Yeah!)
Well, when do you want it?
Tomorrow? (No!)
Later? (No!)
Let me hear you say now! (Now!)
Very nice!
Let me hear you say now is! (Now is!)
That scans!
Let me hear you say now is the! (Now is the!)
Oh, do it with me!
Now is the winter of our discontent
(Now is the winter of our discontent)
Made glorious summer by this son of York
(Made glorious summer by this son of York)
Let me hear you say glorious (Glorious)
Do you mean me? (Glorious)
Well, I can be (Glorious)
Now let me see g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s
Who fits that bill?
It's Will!
I guess
There's a fever going 'round
Has anybody caught it?
We're shaking it for Shakespeare!
Methinks you got it
Will Power
I am the will of the people now
(He is the will of the people now)
Will Power
I am the will of the people now
(He is the will)
Huzzah! (Huzzah!)
Oh, that is music to my ears
And, if music be the food of love, play on
That's a new one, don't even know where to put it yet
Speaking of love, here's one for all you lovers out there
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
Thank you
It is the east and Juliet is the sun
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon
Ah, the moon
Who is already sick and pale
So sick and so pale with grief
That thou her maid (yeah, thou)
Art far more fair than she
Than she
Thank you, I like that one too
Will Power
Will Power
I am the Will with the skill to thrill you with my quill
I am the hardworking bard you regard, yeah
I am the Will (He is the Will)
I am the Will (He is the Will)
I am the name you wanna see up on the bill (Will, Will)
I am the swan (Beautiful swan)
Of the Avon (The one in Stratford)
The chosen one that God in heaven smiled upon (Thank you, God)
And if you wanna see perfection on any given day
You know what they say
Where there's a will, there's a way (Will Power)
Where there's a will, there's a way (Will Power)
Will Power (Will Power)
Goodnight!
Goodnight!
Parting is such sweet sorrow!
We want Will!
