Early in the morning in the middle of the night,

two dead boys got up to fight

back to back, they faced each other

drew they're swords and shot each other

a deaf policeman heard the noise

and came and shot the two dead boys

if you don't think ths story's true,

ask the blind lady, she saw it too

This is how I remember it

it pretty much just means don't believe everything you hear.

I've learned it differently. I will respect the way you learned it, but I wish to share the version I know, if that is allowed.

***

One bright day in the middle of the night,

two dead boys got up to fight.

Back to back they faced one another,

drew their swords and stabbed each other.

A deaf policeman heard the noise,

drew his gun and stabbed the boys.

If you don't believe my lie is true,

ask the blind man, He saw it too.

If you don't believe what I just told you,

ask the blind man he saw it too.

Is twelfth night the same as as you like it?

No. They are two different plays. They do both feature girls who dress up like boys but so do three other Shakespeare plays. Perhaps you are misled because Twelfth Night does have the alternate title "What You Will" which means sort of the same thing as "As You Like It".
