Shakespeare Song Parody: Saying Sooth
This is the 27th in a series of pop-music parodies for Shakespeare fans.
Enjoy!
Saying Sooth
sung to the tune of “Bulletproof”(With apologies to La Roux, and sayers of sooth…)
Looked there, saw that, got a sense;
I know your fate, don’t take offense.
Your future isn’t looking too upbeat.
I don’t mean to sound too harsh,
But please beware the Ides of March,
It’s a day for just not going in.I bring you news that can’t be worse,
I have a gift, but it’s a curse;
My prophecy, surprisingly concrete.
Looked there, saw that, got a sense;
I know your fate, don’t take offense.
Your future isn’t looking too upbeat.Hear me, Caesar.
I am saying sooth.
Hear me, Caesar.
I am saying sooth.I won’t let you turn around,
Dismiss me now without a sound,
To show that you’re no easy man to scare.
Do, do, do your new accords,
Protect your skin from traitors’ swords?
The Ides of March are what you should beware.Tick, tick, tick on the dial;
Your wife’s bad dreams beyond denial,
The Ides of March have come but haven’t gone.
I won’t let you turn around,
Dismiss me now without a sound:
A risky thing for betting your life on.Hear me, Caesar.
I am saying sooth.
Hear me, Caesar.
I am saying sooth.Hear me, I am saying sooth.
Hear me, I am saying sooth.Hear me, Caesar.
I am saying sooth.
Hear me, Caesar.
I am saying sooth.
