NOT CELIBATE LIFE
Gay Troubadour adore adore
( a song )
We’re gay and also happy
We’ve stepped right thru the door
We’re out from that dark closet
And won’t go back no more ore ore ore
Left hanging all the prejudice
From days of dinosaur a saur a saur a saur
We’re doctors and we’re lawyers
Indian Chiefs and cooks,
Policemen, students, parents
Some mensch and even schnooks uh uh uh nooks
There was a time we shamefully
Hid who we felt we were
Those times are gone-we celebrate
Our unique character er er er er
We’re mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters
People that you know
Lifeguards that will pull you in
When you’re pulled out by undertow ow ow
That hooker and that pretzel maker
Cleaning man and undertaker
Farmers wife from mid west Idaho a ho a ho
In Igloos way up north we’re gay and happy Eskimo o o o
We’re orientals, continentals
People on the go go go
We’re pizza makers even Quakers
Movie stars and bagel bakers
We’re Greek, we’re French and German,
Italian, irish, Muslim, Jew
We’re all the same , though different...
We’re just like you and you and you ou ou
We’re just like you and you and you ou
We’re just like you and you and you ou
We’re senators , we’re engineers
Aunts and Uncles, gondoliers
City folk and mountaineers
Football players and some Sioux are queers ah ah queers
Pilots, chefs, police and firemen are queers er er er ers
We’re dark, we’re light,
Ambitious, lazy, work alone or in a crew
We’re people in your family
You love us and we love you ow ow ow ow.
We’re Sailors Soldiers and Marines
Wear every uniforms chapeau
So when saluting Captain Josephine
That may be Captain Joe o o o o o
You may find that Josephine is Joe
You may find that Josephine is Joe
Though it may be confusing as to who is really who
We know who we really are
We’re hoity toit and most bourg’eoi’sie
We’re young and full of energy
We’re old and suffer lethargy
We’re happy and we’re gay
That’s who we are
We’re happy and we’re gay that’s who we are r r r r
We’re out from being hidden
And won’t go back no more ore ore ore ore
We’re gay and also happy troubadour
We’re happy and we’re gay - gay troubadour
We’re happy and we’re gay - gay troubadour
