You say
A dandy like me shouldn't be in this populous play
You cry
Who am I?
And while you're wondering why
I sashay going by.
Why so sad?
Remember how musical theater was clawingly gay
Till the public got mad
Now Hamilton's new rearrangement
Has changed the fad
Straight is back
Soon you'll see
Campy musicals went out with glee
Straight is back
Time will tell
Kinky boots is going straight to hell
New shows come
Gay shows close
Guess we've had enough of purple prose
No the push is to straight.
Like an evil floppy disney villain
I'm designed for you to hate
Da da, don't go away
Cuz this little Beatles tune is immune from being gay
Just like Penny Lane it'll eat away your brain
Like cocaine
They say with so much glitter theater can't go on
But broadway will be bitter when glitz is gone.
Once drag queens were the subject
Now history is the subject
The rigid frigid subject
The metro, hetero subject,
And now I'm hated berated, relegated,
And I sound castrated
Straight is back
It's a cinch
Hedwig put away his Angry Inch
Hairspray ran out of breath
And La Cage has been revived to death
Fiddler's hot,
Fun home's not
And Falsettos is a true long shot
But when push comes to shove,
I can only play a killer,
Not the leading man you love
If you want your play
To play to only standing room,
Then you better not play gay.
Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
Everybody!
Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
Straight is the way to play today
