Upstart Crow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] By the Avon in the rain He wrote gold from honest pain Quills in hand and boots of clay Crow on the gate at break of day [Pre-Chorus] Hear the pipe skirl Hear the strings run Merry rogue, sharp tongue He had the whole world spun [Chorus] Upstart Crow, Upstart Crow Willam Shakespeare, steal the show Upstart Crow, Upstart Crow From the mud, he made it glow (Upstart Crow) [Verse 2] Southward shoes and tavern smoke He made kings out of a joke Juliet sighed, and Hamlet knew Every fool had truth in view [Pre-Chorus] Hear the pipe skirl Hear the strings run Merry rogue, sharp tongue He had the whole world spun [Chorus] Upstart Crow, Upstart Crow Willam Shakespeare, steal the show Upstart Crow, Upstart Crow From the mud, he made it glow (Upstart Crow) [Bridge] Now the stage still calls his name Every backroom feeds the flame Bagpipe wail and fiddle cry Old Will lives when actors try [Final Chorus] Upstart Crow, Upstart Crow Willam Shakespeare, steal the show Upstart Crow, Upstart Crow From the mud, he made it glow (Upstart Crow)
