Timon
sung to the tune of “Diamonds”(With apologies to Rihanna, and those planning to read Timon of Athens… SPOILERS!)
Pass by, cursed by Timon.
Pass by, cursed by Timon.With joy, I would generous be,
Back when I was wealthy.
I ran dry, I ran dry,
I am Timon, here lie I.I gave away my money,
A pathway to bankruptcy,
A wretched soul, while alive,
I am Timon, here lie I.My money gone, my friends fled right away,
Oh, right away!
When I asked them to help me with my creditors,
Every one of them refused my pleas.A plague consume you wicked caitiffs!
My epitaph: I’m Timon, here lie I.
A wretched soul, while alive,
My epitaph: I’m Timon, here lie I.Pass by, cursed by Timon.
Pass by, cursed by Timon.
Pass by, cursed by Timon.
My epitaph: I’m Timon, here lie I.Pass by, cursed by Timon.
Pass by, cursed by Timon.
Pass by, cursed by Timon.
My epitaph: I’m Timon, here lie I.
