Welcome to Verona

Romeo and Juliet wrapped to the tune of "Welcome to Atlanta."

Verse 1:
Welcome to Verona where the Capulets hate
The Montagues and they fight almost everyday and dispute,
They hate each others guts and they fight
On stupid little thing like little purple tights

Verse 2:
It’s the Romeo and Tybalt killer fighting scene
These two are fighting hard but they ain’t fighting clean
We want em stop, but they ain’t gonna stop
And they’re all gonna be turned into the cops

Verse 3:
See Romeo and Juliet really like each other,
But their parents don’t really get along with one another
This is a problem for these two star-crossed lovers
Cause they’ll never get to spend time under da covers

Shouting part:
NO KIDS FOR THEM!
NO KIDS FOR THEM! (LET’S TELL THEM!)
OH YES!!! INCREASE THE VOLUME PLEASE! THANK YOU…..

Chorus:
Welcome to Verona where the Capulets hate
The Montagues and they fight almost everyday and dispute,
They hate each others guts and they fight
On stupid little thing like little purple tights
CAPULET! MONTAGUE!
What the ----? I don’t care do you?
They don’t stop, they keep on fighting
They go on till 3 in the morning!!!

Verse 4:
Benvolio is the peaceful one
He doesn’t like to fight with anyone
He doesn’t really want to have any fun
Now this character’s verse is done

Verse 5:
Here’s Mercutio Romeo’s main man
He likes to have fun and he wants Romeo’s hand (what??)
He was slain by Tybalt which wasn’t that fair
Know what? Romeo was mad as a bear!

Verse 6:
See one day Paris came for Juliet
And she was acting like a child in a basinet
She can’t marry Paris because she’s already wed
And she waiting for Romeo to come to bed

Shouting Part:
NO KIDS FOR THEM
NO KIDS FOR THEM
NO WIFE FOR HIMNO LIFE FOR THEM

CHORUS

Verse 7:
Art thou a man? That’s what the friar say
Like Romeo care; he just cry and stay
Run to Juliet this very night
And then run to Mantua and sit tight

Verse 8:
A sail, a sail! A boat's a coming
They say that to the nurse when she is humming
She usually helps Juliet a lot
But lately she has been a flop

Verse 9:
Mercutio’s line “a plague o’ both your houses”
Foreshadows the end of these two louses
We talking bout the Capulets and Montagues
Down with them and their stupid feud

Shouting part:
NOW THEY ARE DEAD
AFTER THEY WED
ON THEIR DEATHBED
THIS IS THE END

CHORUS

Gotta love the movie versions. If I remember correctly, Tybalt had purple tights paired with yellow pantaloons. His pants oddly reminded me of Disney's Snow White's puff sleeves. This is back from 9th or 10th grade English, composed with two buddies for a group project. Our's ruled.

Speaking of period costumes, check out The Costumer's Guide to Movie Costumes to get the lowdown on the luscious costumes used in movies set 100+ years in the past. Plus, it gives you a heads up on movies coming out in the future. If you love historical fashion as much as I do, it's well worth a look.

And for those sewers and crafters among you, check out The DIY Guide to LRP. I'm going to have to make one of the cloaks and the Robin Hood hat. If you're not so good with that type of stuff, you might also peruse it to see how some of the stuff is made. Of course, this is aimed for light role playing, not the hard core stuff. It's scary how awesome the hardcore role players costumes are.

My outfit: Click the pic for details. & no, I'm not really orange and related to oompa loompas, despite what that pic and my driver's liscence pic would have you think.

Peace Out,
