I finished!
----
O, thou hast taken thy leave with my finest lass,
I sayeth "GO TO!" (ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Mayhaps the earnings I have liken me to an ass,
but, prithee, go to!
(and may she go to too!)
O, were I king of England,
I would not be single and...
ay, 'tis the shite!
(ay 'tis the shite!)
Although I be but a shell
Sayeth I fare-thee-well,
with a "GO TO!"

O, it shames me, that I please not milady
with all my meager worldy wares,
but how thou tempts her, thy motives shady
Yea, verily thy game ain't fair.

O, were thou me, I'd turn my heel and flee
(Ecod, she's a throne-robber, thought I you should know, brother!)
Oooh-wheeeee...
I bite my thumb at thee,
Yeah go run and tell thy little scoundrel!

O, thou hast taken thy leave with my finest lass,
I sayeth "GO TO!" (ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Mayhaps the earnings I have liken me to an ass,
but, prithee, go to!
(and may she go to too!)
O, were I king of England,
I would not be single and...
ay, 'tis the shite!
(ay 'tis the shite!)
Although I be but a shell
Sayeth I fare-thee-well,
with a "GO TO!"

Now I know, that I had to borrow,
steal and swindle like a knave
for thou tak'st me as poor and foolish
tho' mayhaps t'will change if thou finds me brave!

O, were thou me, I'd turn my heel and flee
(Ecod, she's a throne-robber, thought I you should know, brother!)
Oooh-wheeeee...
I bite my thumb at thee,
Haha, a plague upon both your houses!

O, thou hast taken thy leave with my finest lass,
I sayeth "GO TO!" (ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Mayhaps the earnings I have liken me to an ass,
but, prithee, go to!
(and may she go to too!)
O, were I king of England,
I would not be single and...
ay, 'tis the shite!
(ay 'tis the shite!)
Although I be but a shell
Sayeth I fare-thee-well,
with a "GO TO!"

Now prithee, prithee, prithee tell me why thou aims to wound me so?
(me so, me so, me so)
Implored I of my mother but she findeth me at fault for my woe,
(my woe, my woe, my woe!)
Yea, verily!

Wherefore? Uhhh, whereFORE? Wherefore, milady!
Oh! I love thee oh!
I still love thee...Oooh!

O, thou hast taken thy leave with my finest lass,
I sayeth "GO TO!" (ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Mayhaps the earnings I have liken me to an ass,
but, prithee, go to!
(and may she go to too!)
O, were I king of England,
I would not be single and...
ay, 'tis the shite!
(ay 'tis the shite!)
Although I be but a shell
Sayeth I fare-thee-well,
with a "GO TO!"

This is great! A few grammatical errors (e.g. "I sayeth" = "I says"), but hey, Cee Lo doesn't have perfect subject-verb agreement, either. ;)

Yeah, it was intentional.

Awesome!
Although just to pick nits, "sayeth" is third person singular; it should just be "I say"

1) There was a vacancy in the world for it.

2) I was bored.
