Is anybody out there - Hamlet wants to know

Are these ghosts for real - is that my father's soul

Was he really murdered - by his only bro

Do I take revenge - or keep it status quo

 

A ghost is trying to tell me - to kill another man

It looks just like my father - as phantoms sometimes can

The one I'm s'posed to kill - is Claudius the king

My uncle who just gave - my mom a wedding ring

 

The funeral - the wedding - the woe

The mother - the father - the foe

I'm sick at heart - 'tis bitter cold

Hamlet's 30-something years old

 

Could he kill his brother - just to be the king

And take his only lover - and laugh and dance and sing

And how could mother marry - so soon after his death

And celebrate condolences - all in the same breath

 

Is anybody honest - or do they all just seem

To lead a life of good - with nothing too extreme

Here's another liar - here's another thief

Here's another murderer - all rotten in relief

 

The poison - the prison - the plan

The madness - the method - the man

Hey hey - the play is the thing

Were I'll catch the conscience - of the king
