Horrible Histories
The Plays What I’ve Written
That’s right it starts, 1589
Yes, all these plays of mine
Well, if you’ve got the time
First up Two Gentlemen of Verona
Play number two was The Taming of the Shrew
Then Henry the Sixth Part Two and Three and
Titus Andronicus, I wrote that too
Henry Six Part One, kind of a prequel
Henry Three, Richard Three, keeping it regal
Theatres close, uh oh, no shows, what to do
Wrote Sonnets instead - love poems, do you?
Back on track with Comedy of Errors
Love’s Labour's Lost, Love’s Labours Won
History beckoned, Richard II
I make that a dozen I’ve done
Romeo & Juliet, I nicked the plot, is where it’s set
Midsummer Night’s Dream, King John, no sweat
Merchant of Venice, Merry Wives of Windsor
Henry the Fourth, two parts for my sins
A list of the plays what I wroted
And you’ll find what I wrote often quoted
My back catalog is looking bloated
Deep breath time
Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V
And Julius Caesar, As You Like It
To be or not to be, Hamlet was writ by me
Twelfth Night, all right, Troilus and Cressida
Measure for Measure, Othello, All’s Well
Oh dear, King Lear, that didn’t end well
Timon of Athens and Macbeth
Antony & Cleo, I ain’t finished yet
A list of the plays what I’ve written
I’m the greatest playwright in Great Britain
Still some more, though, if you’re not yet smitten
One last time
Pericles, Prince of Tyre, Coriolanus
Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline, The Tempest famous
Cardenio, Henry Eight, and then last up
It’s Two Noble Kingsmen
The end of the list that I wroted
Not unreasonable how much I’ve gloated
Your respect for my work, duly noted
Will-i-am
My plays, they did bubble & boil
Yes, I brought new life into the soil
Before shuffling off this mortal coil
Stood the test of time
Whose name do you all remember? Mine
