To Be or Not to Be

by B.A. Robertson

Brian Alexander Robertson (born 12 September 1956) is a Scottish musician, composer and songwriter. He had a string of hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s characterised by catchy pop tunes and jaunty humorous lyrics, including "Knocked It Off", "To Be or Not to Be" and "Bang Bang", a tongue-in-cheek commentary on famous historical and fictional couples. He wrote with Mike Rutherford of Genesis the Grammy-nominated and Ivor Novello Award-winning "The Living Years". It was a number one hit in the US, Canada, Australia and Ireland and reached number 2 in his native UK. He has also written music for films and been a television presenter.

Now I'm a little shy
I like to stay homeo
Shakespear's my guy
Julie and Romeo
Now I have found a girl so dear
She cares not if Will he war queer
Who cares not if Hammy made it with his Ma?
To be or not to be my lover
To me there could not be another
To be or not to be's my plea
It's as you like it you know
To me there could not be another
In hardback or in paper cover
To be or not to be's my plea
Some like the sun
They'd be a Barbadian
We think it's fun
Here in Stratford-on-Avion
Kids go to a disco show
We stay and praise Malvolio
Who cares if Will
He dressed his guys as chicks?
To be or not to be my lover
...
We are a couplet heaven knows
Undo my doublet baby
And I'll undo your hose
To be or not to be my lover
It's as you like it you know.
