LYRICS:
Down in Scotland, where the haggis is hot
In the country where the Kurgan and the Highlander fought
Something started smellin' rotten when some rebels started plottin'
But then someone sliced 'em up like potatoes au gratin
A single thane sweepin' down like an angel of death
Decapitating Kerns with every breath
Jackin' Gallowglasses like the guy is on meth
He's a bad mamba-jamba, and his name's Macbeth
My name's Macbeth
Double Double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble (2x)
Finished with his killin' which was thrillin' he was chillin' on a hill
And feelin' illin' when some witches start to yell
"Hail to thee, Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, yo"
"That's my name and my title, so what, I know"
"Hail to thee Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor too"
"The Thane of Cawdor still lives, so that can't be true"
"Hail to thee, Macbeth, Scottish King to be"
"Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail"
"Hail, no! Not me."
Then Banquo pipes up, "Yo, what about me?"
"You won't be king, BQ, but your kids might be"
But not Macbeth's

Double Double... (2x)

Well, the witches finish witchin' and MacB he starts a-twitchin'
Cause his thoughts are turning bloody and his dagger-finger's itchin'
"So I'm going to be king, well that's spectacular
And if there's steps to o'erleap, then I'll be leapin' like Bacula"
He goes and finds his lady tells her all then went down
She tells him that there's only one sure way to that crown
The king is crashin' their crib, so they'll get the guards drunk and
When they've fallen asleep "Then we eviscerate Duncan"
MacB jumps back, says "Baby, I don't dare"
"For **** sake, man up and grow a ***damn pair"
Then he sees a bloody dagger just a hangin' in the air
And it's a-pointin' him the way up to the guest room stairs.
Then a bell starts to knell and he thinks "Ah Well
So Long, Uncle Duncan, guess I'll see you in hell"
He takes Duncan out, pins it all on his sons
Banquo goes next, sends his son on the run
Macbeth takes the throne and his tyranny grows
All of Scotland's abuzz, now even Connery knows
"His name's Macbeth"

Double Double... (2x)

Break it down, ladies
Round about the cauldron go, in the poison entrails throw
Eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog
Liver of blaspheming Jew, gal of goats and slips of yew
Add thereto a tiger's chauldron for th'ingredients of our cauldron

Macbeth, he finds the witches and says "What's shakin', bitches?
You spoke the truth about my future fame and riches
But now I want to know if it's a permanent position"
They say okay and conjure up three apparitions
The first apparition says "Beware of Macduff"
"When I'm done with him he'll have more holes than Shia LeBeuff"
The second says "MacB, my friend, you'll never be slain
Til Birnam wood marches up to Dunsinane"
The third says "Mac, don't let nothin' alarm ya
There ain't no one of woman born that ever will harm ya"
Mac's thinkin' he's invincible, he can't be fought
But his lady's goin' crazy screamin' "Out, damn spot!"
She's lyin' there a-dyin', but there ain't no time for cryin'
With tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow flyin' by and
That's when outta the blue, England starts to attack
So Mackers takes to the field cryin' "Blow wind and wrack!"
Macduff comes flyin at him, every single blow he's parryin'
Then Duff, he drops the bomb, he was delivered by Caesarian
Looks like MacB has finally run outta luck
Duff's blade is out and coming at his throat
"Well, ****"

There lies Macbeth

Double Double...

Thank you for making this! I'm giving my students extra credit for going to see the play (no money for a field trip, boo), so I'll show them this on Monday to encourage them to go. I'll show them the "official trailer," too.
