Juliet

A rocking retelling of Shakespeare, with the parts Mark Knopfler and Leonard Bernstein missed.

Sweet lady Juliet,
Cheeks so warm and lips so wet,
Where did your roses go?
And what became of Romeo?

Who threw the poisoned dart
That pierced him in the deepest part?
As with his dying breath,
He praised the name of Juliet.

Who’s at the Golden Crown,
Drinking Bloody Marys down,
With someone who will take you home
And kill the taste of Romeo?

Easy come and easy go,
And sleep with all the windows closed.
Not a soul will ever know
Except the ghost of Romeo.

Call it another name,
But love is love, and will remain,
Even in the living death
Of Romeo and Juliet.

Sweet lady Juliet,
Cheeks so warm and lips so wet,
Where did your roses go?
And who remembers Romeo?
