Enter Much Ado About the Bard today ~ last day

how sad - he felt his heart would break into

young love young one with tears to fall so true

 

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

 

but then let's grin, he at a dance did spy

afoot aface a love a girl to take

and make his one his bride before the day

breaks here, and she saw him too........

 

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

 

the two did dance, awhirl awile a mile

and twined like vines their hearts did blend and blind

their mind, for bid the love?  yes bid the love ...

an so they planned to mind the bind so tight

and two became not two but one that night

 

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

 

when priest did join their hands and speak the words

and sweet and swift they smiled so soon so soft

 

but harsh the sound around the town to cut

them off ....

 

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum! du dum!

 

and blood did spill and all were killed without

within regret so ends the love so brief

of Romeo and his fair Juliet
