This song appears on Russell’s Shorts.

I never much believed in reincarnation
Thought it was only people's imagination
But now I'm forced into some reconsideration
'Cause something's happened to my cat
That deserves some explanation

William Shakespeare's in my cat, my kitty is the bard
He used to be a playwright, now he's digging up the yard
He's still a cat in most respects, he likes to meow and purr
But now I introduce him as the cat that wrote Richard the Third
I took him to see Phantom, he said it was quite nice
But he can't go see Miss Saigon until he kills some mice (until he kills some mice)

William Shakespeare's in my cat, it sometimes seems so deep
The guy who wrote Twelfth Night chews on my socks while I'm asleep
I'm really quite impressed I own the cat who wrote MacBeth
But if something's rotten in the state, it's just his fishy breath

'Cause he wrote Romeo and Juliet
But his greatest story yet
Is coming back as someone's pet
And gettin' neutered by the vet
He got his paws caught in a net
Then he said to be or not to meow!

William Shakespeare's in my cat; he rarely ever talks
He makes his loudest statements standing in the litter box
He sleeps on all my shelves and throws my books about the house
It doesn't sound like prose when he bats his squeaky mouse
Sam Beckett's plays are witty; same thing for Bernard Shaw
Oscar Wilde is pretty, but none of them have paws (none of them have paws)

William Shakespeare's in my cat; he chases bits of fluff
John Milton's in my goldfish, but I never liked his stuff
I'm thinking that Franz Kafka really came back as a bug
And I hope Andrew Lloyd Webber will stay underneath my rug

'Cause he wrote Romeo and Juliet
But his greatest story yet
Is coming back as someone's pet
And gettin' neutered by the vet
He got his paws caught in a net
Then he said to be or not to meow!

Take it, Trevor!
Whoo! Yee-haw! Yeah!
Alright, bring it home!
Okay, here we go. One, two, three, four...

He wrote Romeo and Juliet
But his greatest story yet
Is coming back as someone's pet
And gettin' neutered by the vet
He got his paws caught in a net
Then he said to be or not to meow!

Meow.
