Robbie:
|
On this particular week, Madonna said she wanted to do Shakespeare. Wil and Adam wanted to hear the word "forsooth" in a song ten times. As for Tripod, they just do it for the music, man.

|
|
Scod:
|
One, two, three, four-sooth!
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
That's one!
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Do you believe in love? Well, Willie Shakespeare had something to say about it. And it goes something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
I worked hard to be a star,
|
|
|
Who do these young folks think they are?
|
|
|
If Nicole Kidman can sing,
|
|
|
I can do Shakespeare.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
I can see myself standing on a battlement,
|
|
|
Wearing a...
|
|
Tripod:
|
... conical bra.
|
|
Yon:
|
Eight muscle men surround me as I descend the stairs,
|
|
|
And play Henry IV.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
And when I read the morning news,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
And when I read the morning news,
|
|
Scod:
|
My show will open to... reviews.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
I worked hard to be a star,
|
|
|
Who do these young folks think they are?
|
|
|
If Nicole Kidman can sing,
|
|
|
I can do Shakespeare.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Then I'll break new ground - the first white female,
|
|
|
To play...
|
|
Tripod:
|
... the role of Othello.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
I could add a plot point involving an antique shotgun,
|
|
|
And a diamond heist.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Full of Cockneys for effect,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Full of Cockneys for effect,
|
|
Scod:
|
Just so my husband can direct.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
Oh, Guy, will you direct my play for me?
|
|
|
You'll be perfect for the bard-man.
|
|
|
As long as it involves an antique shotgun,
|
|
|
And Vinnie Jones as a hard man.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
We'll be laughing all the way to the Banquo...
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
I could make a book of nudie pictures of myself,
|
|
|
As all the various characters.
|
|
|
Picture Macbeth hitchhiking, with a dagger in one hand,
|
|
|
And his arse in the other.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
A documentary, just for truth,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
A documentary, just for truth,
|
|
Scod:
|
And now I have to say "forsooth".
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
I worked hard to be a star,
|
|
Yon:
|
(In the background) Forsooth... forsooth... forsooth... forsooth..
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
Who do these young folks think they are?
|
|
Yon:
|
Forsooth... forsooth...
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
If Nicole Kidman can sing,
|
|
Yon:
|
Forsooth... forsooth... that's eleven.
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
I can do Shakespeare.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
One, two, three, four-sooth...
