| Why are people gay
|
| All the night and day
|
| Feeling as they never felt before
|
| What is the thing
|
| That makes them sing?
|
| Rich man, poor man, thief
|
| Doctor, lawyer, chief
|
| Feel a feeling that they can’t ignore
|
| It plays a part in every heart
|
| And every heart is shouting, «Encore»
|
| Love is sweeping the country
|
| Waves are hugging the shore
|
| All the sexes
|
| From Maine to Texas
|
| Have never known such love before!
|
| See them billing and cooing
|
| Like the birdies above
|
| Each girl and boy alike
|
| Sharing joy alike
|
| Feels that passion' ll
|
| Soon be national!
