Give Me Shakespeare - Sailor

I really love you for your mind

And I know that we are two of a kind

I don’t go straight for that physical bit

It always turns out a one-way trip

But won’t you come up to my room

So we can discuss, say Egyptian tombs

Or maybe just do a few little steps

From one of our favourite Bolshoi ballets

Give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses

Give me Mozart instead of holding me tight

Give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel

Like 'Baby, it’s alright'

Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting

Give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears

Give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle

Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali and an

Evening at the opera

I really love you as you are

And without make-up I think that you’ll go far

Your clothes hide your figure beautifully

It makes a lovely change, I mean that sincerely

I’ve got so much respect for you

And I know that you’ve got respect for me too

So let’s go and relax on my bed

So we can confirm all that we’ve said

Give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses

Give me Mozart instead of holding me tight

Give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel

Like 'Baby, it’s alright'

Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting

Give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears

Give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle

Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali and an

Evening at the opera

Writing and painting, poetry and neurology

Those are just some of my favourite things

Gershwin and Schumann, Newton and Rasputin

Those are just some of my favourite people

Give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses

Give me Mozart instead of holding me tight

Give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel

Like 'Baby, it’s alright'

Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting

Give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears

Give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle

Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali and an

Evening at the opera

Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali

Give me, give me, give me Shakespeare

Give me Shakespeare

Give me Shakespeare

Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali and an

Evening at the opera!
