a series of funny misunderstandings - laurence rickard, bernard hughes lyrics

Loading...

[shakespeare]:
two men who look the same
but have a different aim
it’s a series of funny misunderstandings!
two twins each with a lover*

[gabriel]
who mistake each for the other*

[shakespeare]
somehow fall into the service of a mad king…

[lopez]
take this letter* (wait, there’s two)

[shakespeare]
and they mix up which goes to who
the comic complications keep expanding
in a tale so confused, you can’t help but be amused*

[all]
by this series of funny misunderstandings!

[shakespeare]
a jilted bride?
[gabriel]
that’s not funny!

[shakespeare]
pretend she died?

[sergio]
on the money!

[shakespeare]
and her poisoned body’s hidden by a monk
until a fool who’s quite smart*

[lopez]
he’s a fool, that’s a start*

[juan]
says, ‘this monk is nuts!’*

[shakespeare]
and locks him in a trunk
and his servant * make him thick
then hit him with a stick*

[all]
it’s a series of funny misunderstandings!
[shakespeare]
cue a mixed*up wedding blessing*

[lopez]
further vexed by more cross*dressing*

[shakespeare]
which goes on to heal two families at war
when the bride, they thought was dead
comes back with a donkey’s head
but marries anyway because her groom*

[all]
has been drugged by a wh0re!

[shakespeare]
add a priest, add a lion, add a wrangle over money

[sergio]
it’s too much!

[juan]
i’m confused!

[shakespeare]
yes, that’s what makes it funny
severed heads, star*crossed lovers
english kings, evil mothers
with a big happy ending notwithstanding*
[all]
we think you’ll agree this has turned out to be
a series of funny misunderstandings!
