If they’d had flappers back in Shakespeare’s day,
Instead of the profound soliloquies,
Willy wouldn’t know just what to say,
He might resort to making sounds like these:
(Scat)
Hey Ho, Hip Hip Hooray,
If they’d had flappers back in Shakespeare’s day.
If they’d had flappers in his century,
Surely they’d have taught the bard to swing.
That old bit on the balcony,
Might sound a little like the following:
(Scat)
Hey Ho, Hip Hip Hooray,
If they’d had flappers back in Shakespeare’s day.
Wherefore art though, Billy the bard?
In your swingin’ leotard,
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Sure thing, Momma, whatever you say.
If they’d had flappers back in Shakespeare’s day,
Hamlet would’ve had a lot more fun.
He’d start chasing his blues away,
To Charleston or not to Charleston?
(Scat)
Hey Ho, Hip Hip Hooray,
Hidey hidey hidey ho,
Hey-de Hey-de Hey-de Hey,
(Scat)
Parting is such sweet sweet sorrow,
Keep cool Momma, dig you tomorrow.
That is what those flapper girls would say, if they,
Were shaking it in Shakespeare’s day.
