verse 1AmF
I first heard Frank say
AmG
He wanted to dress like Faye Wray
FGE/G#Am
I wanted that too but what could I do
FCG
In junior high school in LA?
AmF
My heart skipped in the scene
AmG
He said you gotta be it, not just dream
FGE/G#Am
It was a taboo I knew I wouldn't pursue
FCG
I didn't have the self-esteem
CG/B
I gotta confess that I like to cross dress
AmF
And I've been doing it since I was 13
CG/B
It's hard to tell bros that you wear women's clothes
DG
Even in the “open-minded” punk scene
FG
You'd probably get hurt in heels and a skirt
CG/BAmG
When you're in the middle of a circle pit
FGAm
So I'd only wear panties under boxers to keep it all a secret
FG
Now I'm telling everyone 'cause it's fun and I don't give a shit
verse 2AmF
Forward 30 years
AmG
I still had the same fears
FGE/G#Am
Then I saw Hedwig play at Bilgewater's gig
FCG
And I felt the same envy and tears
AmF
I decided right there
AmG
I can't be bothered to care
FGEGmAm
What other people think, I'm gonna dye my pubes pink
FCAm
And throw out all my Hanes underwear
CG/B
I'm not transgender, I'm a lazy crossdresser
AmF
Who thinks makeup is too much of an ordeal
CG/B
I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes
DG
Not for the look, but how it makes me feel
FG
I don't need things just right, I'm a tranvest-lite
CG/BAmG
I only shave to do the Time Warp midnight Saturday
FG
I'm done with self-pity, I don't have to feel shitty
E/G#AmF
'Cause I wanna look pretty, so I give it the old city College try
GAm
Don't get me wrong, I still wanna be a guy
FG
Who sometimes likes to dress like a girl
E/G#Am
(He sometimes likes to wear diamonds and pearls)
FG
Don't think I don't know I'm not fooling anyone
E/G#Am
(He's a cross between Adele and Charlie Chaplin)
FG
You gotta know it's not just girls
C
who just wanna have fun!
