There was this king sitted in his garden all alane
When his brother in his ear poured a little bit o’ henbane,
Stole his brother’s crown and his money and his widow;
But the dead king walked and got his son and said, “Hey listen, kiddo…”
—Adam McNaughtan sings “Oor Hamlet: : a tragedy in 3 minutes”
