Has anybody here seen a chick called dick |
|
He looks real burly but he's really hip |
|
He's six feet tall and his arms are all brown and hairy |
|
Well, he married betty lou back in '65 when you had to be butch to survive |
|
But lately he's been looking at his wife with mixed emotions |
|
You see, he's not a common place closet queen |
|
He shouldn't be hidden, he should be seen |
|
'cos when he puts on that dress |
|
He looks like a princess |
|
The day he came out of the wardrobe |
|
Betty lou got quite a surprise |
|
She didn't know whether she should get angry or not bat an eye |
|
She really couldn't call up her mother |
|
Mama would positively die |
|
Should she go or stay or should she try to get a trial separation |
|
You see, he's not a faggot as you might suppose |
|
He just feels restricted in conventional clothes |
|
'cos when he puts on that dress, he feels like a princess |
|
He's not a dandy, he's only living out a fantasy |
|
He's not a pansy, he's only being what he wants to be |
|
Now his life is rearranged and he's grateful for the change |
|
He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets |
|
Betty lou didn't know what to do at first |
|
But she's learning how to cope at last |
|
She's got the best of both worlds |
|
And she's really in a state of elation |
|
She says it helps their relationship |
|
She says a change is as good as a rest |
|
And their friends finally coming 'round to their way of thinking |
|
She wears the trousers and smokes the pipe |
|
And he washes up |
|
She helps him wipe |
|
'cos when he puts on that dress |
|
He looks like a princess |
|
He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling alright |
|
He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling satisfied |
|
Now it's farewell to the past |
|
The secret's out at last |
|
He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets |
