This is a fun song. The comparison of the singer's love for his girlfriend and his plans to woo her to the play "Romeo and Juliet" is a bit forced. The only thing the singer is really trying to say is that his love is as HUGE and IMPORTANT as Romeo's was for Juliet. Other than that there are no parallels to the NON-historical story of Romeo and Juliet.
The almost scary aspect of the song is the references to the tragedy "like Romeo and Juliet" that will result if the singer cannot get a job. Romeo and Juliet DIED because of a misunderstanding. The singer of this song seems willing to kill himself and his girlfriend if he can't buy a stupid car! Now, THAT would be a tragedy!!
