Ladies in Drag (Foreword by Fred Schneider) |
| Oh Jesus, Brenda |
| Let me tell you about this cabaret show |
| I saw last night |
| My god, what a piece of campy trash |
| The lights dim, this drag queen, i forget her name… |
| «Dean Monsen» or I don’t know |
| Comes out, ratted hair, gothic makeup, slutty outfit… |
| She was the worst! |
| And her piano player |
| Gave me a headache |
| This girl was all comedy and no glamour |
| I tell you it’s one of the biggest pieces of crap |
| I’ve ever have to endure |
| I’d like to propose a toast |
| Here’s to the ladies in drag, everybody clap |
| Covered in makeup to hide all our sags; |
| spilling cocktails in our lap |
| Off to a show or to a party; |
| worried we’re fat |
| And looking low, while sipping Bacardi; |
| adjusting our hat… |
| 'Cause let’s face it, does anyone but a drag queen still wear a hat? |
| I’ll drink to that |
| And here’s to the girls who stay smart, aren’t they a gasp? |
| Rushing to their classes in performance art, knowing they won’t pass |
| Another long, exhausting night, the drag scene can be risky |
| You lose a heel, get in a fight; |
| thank God for cheap well whiskey |
| I’ll drink to that |
| And one for RuPaul… |
| And here’s to the girls who wear crowns; |
| aren’t we too much? |
| Running around in our high heels and gowns, thinking we’re in touch |
| The ones who follow the rules; |
| and use the appropriate tools, too gorgeous to |
| care if we’re fools… |
| Aren’t they a gem? |
| I’ll drink to them! |
| Let’s all drink to them! |
| And here’s to the girls who just watch, aren’t they the best? |
| When they get depressed it’s a bottle of scotch, plus a little jest |
| Another chance to disapprove, another brilliant singer… |
| Another reason not to move, another vodka stinger… |
| I’l drink to that! |
| And here’s to the girls in the show, everybody thrive |
| Look into our eyes and you’ll see what we know, everybody dies! |
| A toast to this invincible crew! |
| The divas in size 15 shoes, let’s hear it for |
| the girls with updos… |
| Everybody rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
