Shylock came for his pound
He's got his own scales and everything
Where is Portia now, the phone is diverting


Shylock came for his pound
The look on his face as she enters stage-left

She sings him a song on the quality of mercy

Here she comes, taking off those glasses

Shaking that hair down, yeah here she comes
In slow-motion, she's in slow-motion


Now she's buying me time
But just a stay of execution
'Til the next drive-by when I fall like fallen lace


But look now here she comes
Taking off those glasses

Shaking that hair down, in slow-motion
She's in slow-motion, yeah here she comes
Taking off those glasses

How she's shaking that hair down
Look now here she comes in slow-motion
She's in slow-motion


And how can I ever repay her
