"That Shakesperian rag,— Most intelligent, very elegant, That old classical drag, Has the proper stuff, the line, "Lay on MacDuff," Desdemona was the colored pet, Romeo loved his Juliet— And they were some lovers, you can bet, and yet, I know if they were here today, They'd Grizzly Bear in a diff'rent way, And you'd hear old Hamlet say, "To be or not to be," That Shakesperian rag."
