Momus - Baloney Polonius lyrics

To thine own self be true Is only your point of view Baloney, Polonius, for everyone but you Brevity is the soul of wit But stick with wit a little bit And then you might discover something new Neither a lender or borrower be But in the end when you're in need Baloney, Polonius, you know More matter and less art, you say? McLuhan blew that one away Take your baloney, Polonius, and go I'll come back as a master thinker Commit philanthropy Revive the maxims I destroyed And go down in history Erect a few statues, endow a few colleges All named after me Shakespeare said I'm bad But I'm good There's method in madness, yes There I must agree I'd like to see the whole world going mad But the fact that you said it Would tend to discredit Polonius, due to your hokey baloney Whatever truth the statement may have had
