Disclaimer: I own neither "West Side Story" nor "Macbeth". Please don't sue
me, I'm poor.
A/N: So one day, some friends and I decided "Hey wouldn't it be hysterical to write a musical version of 'Macbeth'?" And guess what? It was. This is what I do in my free time people. There are still some songs I need to work on, so I won't be posting them in order, but please let me know what you think. I'm just going to post this for now, but if you like it I will most certainly post more! Thanks!
A King Like That (Ross and Macduff. Sung to the tune of "A Boy Like That"
Ross: A king like that, who kills your family A king like that: he isn't manly Revenge your family-we'll make him suffer
A king like that will bring us sorrow He'll kill some more again tomorrow Revenge your family-we'll make him suffer
A king who kills is insane A king who kills cannot feel He killed Banquo and other's too-he thinks it's art Very smart, Macduff, oh very smart
A king like that wants one thing only His love and kindness are all phony He murdered your love, he'll murder mine Just wait and see, just wait Macduff, just wait and see!
Macduff: Oh no my chickens no! My chickens no! It can't be true, not for me It isn't true-my family I hear your words, and in my head, I know they're smart! But the king dear Ross, he's in my heart!
I should know better I loved the king, or so I said I should know better
He killed my wife, and I must be revenged Right or wrong, what else can I do? I'll kill him, tonight We'll do what must be right, me and you.
My loyalties are reversed in my head Treachery is my only choice He's evil, our king He controls everything
But what else can we do? But kill him, kill him tonight. Hunt him down, till we save Scotland from ruin
Both: When hate comes, so strong There is no right or wrong Revenge is your right.
