lyrics

Ricky:

WHEN DID YOU GET TO
BE SO BUTCH, MARY?
WHEN DID YOU START TO
ACT SO STRAIGHT?
THE LAST TIME THAT I SAW YOU
IT WAS JUST THE OTHER DAY,
AND I HAVE GOT TO SAY,
YOU WERE LOOKIN' MIGHTY GAY!

WHERE DID YOU GET THE
HIGH TOP BOOTS, HELEN?
WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KID TONIGHT?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US
WITH THAT STUBBLE ON YOUR CHEEK?
THE WAY YOU HOLD YOUR CIGARETTE,
THE WAY YOU TAKE A LEAK!

WHEN DID YOU GET TO
BE SO BUTCH, MARY?
WHEN DID YOU START
TO GUZZLE BUD?
I USED TO SEE YOU DANCIN'
WITH A LACY PAPER FAN,
TONIGHT I DID A DOUBLE TAKE-
I THOUGHT YOU WERE A MAN!

WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR
BASEBALL CAP, HELEN?
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
TO SCRATCH YOUR NUTS?

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMPUTERS
AND YOUR FAVORITE FOREIGN WAR.
YOU MUST BE AFTER SOMETHING
THAT YOU NEVER HAD BEFORE.
INSTEAD OF SINGING
THE SONGS FROM MAME,
YOU'RE SINGING
THE HOCKEY SCORE!
WHAT'S A MODERN
QUEEN TO DO?
MARY, IS IT REALLY YOU?

YOU'RE TELLING EVERYBODY
THAT YOUR GIVEN NAME IS "SPIKE”.
IT'S EVERY ONE'S PREROGATIVE
TO DRESS THE WAY THEY LIKE,
BUT LISTEN TO YOUR SISTER SUE,
YOU LOOK MORE
LIKE A DYKE!
WHAT'S A MODERN
QUEEN TO DO?
MARY, IS IT REALLY-
MARY, IS IT REALLY-
MARY, IS IT REALLY YOU?
