Shakespeare Song Parody: I Have Won
This is the 39th in a series of 40 pop-music parodies for Shakespeare fans.
Enjoy!
I Have Won
sung to the tune of “We Are Young”(With apologies to Fun and Janelle Monáe)
Give me a second, I
I need to get my vengeance straight:
The steward and the fool have
Drunk more wine than they have body weight,
My brother he is washed ashore
With others just as bad,
The kid is being led by Ariel
Singing about his dad, and
I know they all betrayed me years ago.
I can forgive but not forget.
So I made a storm and food transform
With magical technologies, you know,
It’s not so hard to pay them back.
But by six in the evening
When the sun is going down,
I’ll let it all go.This fight
I have won,
For the crime that was my brother’s,
And for the others;
What they’ve done!This fight
I have won,
For the crime that was my brother’s,
And for the others;
What they’ve done!Now, don’t tell me you’d not
Deserve more than you got.
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe I could show you how to have a heart.
Though I paid you back,
I showed mercy most,
And now it’s time to let it all go.This fight
I have won,
For the crime that was my brother’s,
And for the others;
What they’ve done!This fight
I have won,
For the crime that was my brother’s,
And for the others;
What they’ve done!But by six in the evening
When the sun is going down,
I’ll let it all go: this fight.
