Henslowe - !!!NEW!!!

For those of you who don't know, I am a staunch advocate of the Rose Playhouse in Southwark (if you've never been there, go - it's an amazing site). One of the men behind The Rose was Philip Henslowe (who some people may know as been played by Geoffrey Rush in the film 'Shakespeare in Love'). I decided - with the help of a Beatles tune that got stuck in my head - that he should have his own parody song.

Hey Jude Henslowe not by The Beatles
Henslowe, he was the man
Knew what he wanted, a real go-getter
Involved with many more businesses here
Than it appears – Tudor jet-setter

Henslowe, he started small
Born in Sussex then came to London
Soon built up a business all around town
Of great reknown that’s how it (was) begun

And then to keep track of his plan, Henslowe began
To record his work in written letters
And that is why we still know now exactly how
He made our Southwark a little better
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Henslowe, he built the Rose
The first theatre, built on The Bankside
He left it in sixteen hundred and five
But Southwark is still where it resides

So don’t forget when in London, Henslowe, is gone
But his works are still there for you to find
And when you do you’ll want to know Henslowe, who showed
That his achievements are here to stay
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah

Henslowe, he was the man
Knew what he wanted, a real go-getter
Involved with many more businesses here
Than it appears – Tudor jet-setter
