Romeo & Juliet Lyrics

This song contains depictions and allegories

To binary relationships between men and women which

Albeit presented in a reasonably satirical way

Can be perceived by members of some oppressed

And highly sensitive groups as outrageously offensive

Members of these oppressed communities might find it

Particularly disturbing that the song draws on the age-old

Relationship between Romeo and Juliet, instead of

Reimagining this rather traditional man-and-woman

Romantic dynamic in a modern quasi-progressive

Man-hating and woman-degrading fashion

You will not hear about a non-binary Romiette

And a tri-gender Julio who identifies as an asexual

Mario look-alike in this musical performance

Listener discretion is advised

You like to dream of something ideal

Sometimes believe it might come true

All lovers want a perfect bridal

Like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe

You want to be as passionate as

Rhett and Scarlett

You spoony kids, romantic youths

That float in the clouds

She wants him to fight for her like

El Mariachi

(If she's straight enough)

He wants her sexy like Catherine Tramell

And both want to kiss like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

And make love like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

You like to fake a strong emotion

That you saw somewhere, but never had

You dramatize out of proportion

Until it drives your partner mad

You want to be as passionate as

Ralph and Maggie

Romantic whores and drama queens

Who float in the clouds

She wants him to be cool like

Gary Cooper

(Or maybe Tony Montana)

He wants her smart like Alice Abernathy

And both want to kiss like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

And make love like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

The truth is, your love is but a trivial affair

A pure reflection of what you dare

To be or not to be. The hardest part

Is knowing you can never love someone because of your empty heart

And day after day, and year after year

You wait for your perfect dream to appear

But it never comes true if you idealize

And keep on waiting for someone to come and open your eyes

Like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

And make love like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

And kiss like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo

And die like

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

Lady Juliet

And Romeo
