This is the second of what is now a series<\/a> of Shakespeare Song Parodies.<\/p>\n

The idea is to take a popular song and change the words so that it’s about Shakespeare. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Dutiful<\/strong>
\nsung to the tune of “What Makes You Beautiful”<\/p>\n

(With apologies to One Direction and anyone reading this…)<\/p>\n

You act demure.
\nDon\u2019t know what for.
\nYou could defend yourself for marrying a Mo-o-or.
\nBut rumors spread.
\nSome people said
\nThat you and Cassio have been in be-e-ed.<\/p>\n

Everyone else in this town could see it,
\nEveryone else but me-e.<\/p>\n

Baby, you light up my world, yea, I say amen;
\nSo I must put out the light, then do that again;
\nYou must die else you may betray other men.
\nI don\u2019t know, oh, oh,
\nI don\u2019t know you\u2019re dutiful.<\/p>\n

If you saw what Iago has helped me see,
\nYou\u2019d understand why I\u2019m so filled with jealousy;
\nI know that you burned your dad, but would you burn me?
\nI don\u2019t know, oh, oh,
\nI don\u2019t know you\u2019re dutiful.<\/p>\n

My hankerchief:
\nIt was a gift.
\nAnd now it\u2019s lost; that\u2019s what started this ri-i-ift.
\nYou dare to lie,
\nAnd now you\u2019ll die,
\nBut I pause first to kiss you goodbye-eye-eye.<\/p>\n

Everyone else in this town could see it,
\nEveryone else but me-e.<\/p>\n

Baby, you light up my world, yea, I say amen;
\nSo I must put out the light, then do that again;
\nYou must die else you may betray other men.
\nI don\u2019t know, oh, oh,
\nI don\u2019t know you\u2019re dutiful.<\/p>\n

If you saw what Iago has helped me see,
\nYou\u2019d understand why I\u2019m so filled with jealousy;
\nI know that you burned your dad, but would you burn me?
\nI don\u2019t know, oh, oh,
\nI don\u2019t know you\u2019re dutiful.<\/p>\n

You defended me down to your dying yell,
\nYou\u2019re like a liar who\u2019s now gone to burning hell.
\nSo Emelia, what was it you had to tell?
\nNow I know, oh, oh,
\nNow I know you\u2019re dutiful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
