Stanley Cooper - Baconian Theorum lyrics

The plays of Shakespeare are thrilling, including Macbeth and King Lear I will never be ready or willing to trash the great Bard's career Some nineteenth century writers, claimed Will did not author those plays Those scholarly tabloid inciters, sought another writer to praise They shamefully came up with Bacon, might have done better with ham Their goal was to readers awaken, to their plagiarizing sham Sir Francis, it's true, was a smarty, was quite the “Pooh Bah” of his day Did so many things that were arty, but couldn't be Shakespeare's valet The Lord High Everything was “Pooh Bah”, of most things he kept abreast Keeper of the Seal, Lord Chancellor, was Sir Bacon at his best When knighted and addressed as a Sir, it helped him stand tall and erect But he's managed my wrath to incur, by making the great bard suspect With such brilliance did Shakespeare write, he was so wonderfully able Not even Sir Francis, the Knight, would care to persist with their fable
