Do Right Do Wrong

This is a song I recently wrote. It is based on a quote from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.

Lyrics: Do Right, Do Wrong

Verse 1:
Way back in the 1500’s
In Stratford upon Avon
The Merchant of Venice
Shylock is good and a menace

Chorus 1:
To do a great right
Do a little wrong
That is what
Shakespeare said

Verse 2:
What does it mean
To the play’s scene
Why must one do wrong to do right?
That is the situation Portia had to fight
How can this possibly be
Why would he make this plea

Verse 3:
When Bassanio urges Portia to break the law in order to thwart Shylock

Final Double Chorus:
Sometimes it is necessary
To do a little wrong
To create a situation for a great right

Unused lyrical ideas:
That is what was written
The author was smitten
You speak an infinite deal of nothing
