Video of myShakespeare | Romeo & Juliet 5.3 The Hit List Song Lyrics All of Verona’s saying “Can I get a witness” But it don’t matter when you’re on…The Hit List Mercutio is the first to go. Gets stabbed by Tybalt and it’s adios. Romeo tries to break up the fight, but when his friend gets killed he’s still got a knife. He takes revenge on Tybalt, kill’s the Capulet dead That’s hit number two and Romeo gets banish-ed. It’s onto act 5 for the rest of the hits. Romeo finds Paris in Juliet’s crypt She took a drug to make her look dead But Romeo missed the memo and he’s worried instead. Now he’s got poison in his pocket And a sword in his hand He takes out Paris The third hit is his last stand. Hit Number 4: Romeo takes his own life He gets into the crypt—thinks he sees his dead wife. It’s poison out, bottoms up, and he dies with a kiss. “True apothecary, thy drugs are quick” Friar Laurence shows up Just a second too late. He sees Romeo’s dead And Juliet’s about to wake. She yawns and gets up from a long night’s rest But she sees Romeo dead and puts a knife in her chest. Hit Number 5: Juliet’s suicide. She tries Romeo’s bottle but no poison inside She tries kissing his lips: But there’s no poison, just swagger She takes a deep breath and goes for his dagger. Both lovers are dead when the parents arrive The prince and his posse coming up behind Surprise, Hit 6: happens off stage Romeo’s mom dies of sadness and rage When she found out her son was exiled from town Her hubby drops the news while they’re standing around. And that, dear friends, is the whole hit list Six deaths in five acts, that’s a hell of a plot twist.
