Shakespeare Lied

Congratulations, Kate!
Oh, no
So what's the problem?
You get a wedding dress at Lane Bryant, and -
Oh, Doctor, I'll die!
What, from love?
Never!
Listen

Shakespeare lied
When Juliet died
Romeo didn't get up and commit another suicide
(What did he do?)
He got over it
He caught a little flu
But he got over it
And so will you
You'll get over it

A person with a gripe
Instead of considering taking the pipe
Should take the spiel
Of poor Camille
What do you think was the story before
They cut the final reel?
(Haven't a clue)
She got over it
She gave up cigarettes
But she got over it
And so will you
You'll get over it

What gives the fatal shove
Is very rarely love
The tears that overtake ya
And ache ya in the trachea
Don't kill you till they make you old and gray
You'll get over it
You'll get over it
It's ten to one to go away

One hot spark
Hit Joan of Arc
Would you believe that the lady would burn
Without a last remark?
(What did she say?)
"Get me out of it
I've had a change of heart
So get me out of it"
And so will you
You'll get out of it

So face a gun barrage
Or knock yourself off in your neighbor's garage
But one last gasp
And this you'll grasp
Did she intend it was really the end
When Cleo clutched her asp?
Not on your life
None the worse from it
She even made a stunning lizard purse from it

And as for you
What's the curse from it?
From feeling sort of sick
I'll later get a kick (right!)
From love we all may suffer
But if we weren't tougher
There wouldn't be enough around to say
"You'll get over it
You'll get over it"

Unless you go out and get struck
By lightning or by a truck
It's guaranteed with your hard luck
To go (that's very nice to know!)
Away (take your advice and go away)
Oh yeah!
