Cole Porter - Kiss me, Kate (Musical)
Schlag' nach bei Shakespeare
Die bess'ren Damen gewinnt man nur
durch Beherrschung der Lit'ratur.
Du wirst Eindruck schinden, zitierst du kess
Aeschylos und Euripides.
Homer gibt dir über Frauen Macht!
Homer ist der, wenn man trotzdem lacht!
Die Mädchen verehr?n deinen Kunstverstand,
hast du 'n Knüller von Schiller zur Hand.
Aber Shakespeare ist der Clou - du wirst im "Salong" zum Löwen,
rezitierst du immerzu den Schwan von "Stratford am Avon"
Schlag' nach bei Shakespeare, bei dem steht was drin!
Kommst du mit Shakespeare, sind die Weiber gleich ganz hin.
Denn du fällst durch die Kenntnis der Dramen,
bei den Damen sofort aus den Rahmen.
Deklamierst du 'n paar Zeil'n aus Othello,
läßt die Gnäd'je sich streicheln wie 'n Cello.
Selbst die kälteste Frau von Chikago
kriegst du 'rum, bist du zynisch wie Jago!
Schlag' nach bei Shakespeare und die Frau'n sind hin!
Bist du wortreich wie Titus Andronicus,
bleibst du bei deiner Liebsten nicht ohne Kuß
wenn Sie dir in die Lippe vor Schreck biß,
dann markier 'n wilden Mann wie Herr Macbeth.
Nennt dich eine dir nah'steh'nde Knospe roh,
dann sei milde im Sturme wie Prospero!
Schlag' nach bei Shakespeare, bei dem steht was drin!
Kommst du mit Shakespeare, sind die Weiber gleich ganz hin.
Läßt Sie dich nicht ans goldblonde Feenhaar,
dann komm' wütend an wie König Lehar.
Rezitierst du Herrn Shakespeare's Sonette,
ziehst Sie zärtlich dich zur Lagerstätte,
zeigst du Schwermut wie Herzog Orsino,
wird die Liebe so schön wie im Kino!
Schlag' nach bei Shakespeare und die Frau'n sind hin!
Jawoll, sie sind alle hin!
Bestimmt, sie sind alle hin!
Cole Porter (1891-1964) was one of America's greatest composers of musical comedies and one of the most prolific contributors to the Great American Songbook. Born in Peru, Indiana, Porter studied music at Yale University before dedicating himself to musical composition. His most famous works include *Fifty Million Frenchmen*, *The New Yorkers*, *Anything Goes* and *Kiss Me, Kate*. He wrote songs for many films and Broadway musicals, and many of the songs that we know and love today were written by Cole Porter, including "Night And Day", "Anything Goes", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "It's De-Lovely" and "You're the Top". Porter died at the age of 73 from heart failure. He is buried in his hometown of Peru, Indiana.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
