Brewing in Elsinore Parody of "Looking Out My Back Door" by John Fogerty Parody lyrics by Sharon Palmer Trouble o'er at Elsinore, Hamlet's dad is king no more. Claudius took over; now he's marrying the queen. Prince Hamlet's got a mission, From his father's apparition. Doom, doom, doom brewing in Elsinore. Ophelia is half mad. Laertes loves their old dad. Listen to Polonius a-lecturing his kids, "Neither lend nor borrow, Be true or you'll know sorrow." Doom, doom, doom brewing in Elsinore. Hamlet knows the play's the thing By which he'll catch the king. He will coach the players on the roles to play. Doo, doo, doo. Then he'll watch the king for Some sign of misdemeanor. Doom, doom, doom brewing in Elsinore. Rozencrantz and Gildenstern Are plotting with the king Won't you take Prince Hamlet ona little cruise? Dooo, doo, doo. See if England's willing, To do some princely killing. Doom, doom, doom brewing in Elsinore. Blood and death in Elsinore, Corpses strewn across the floor. Horatio holds Hamlet as he gasps his final words. Today there's only sorrow. Denmark has no tomorrow. Doom, doom, doom brewing in Elsinore.
