Glad To Be Gay |
| The British Police are the best in the world |
| I don’t believe one of these stories I’ve heard |
| 'Bout them raiding our pubs for no reason at all |
| Lining the customers up by the wall |
| Picking out people and knocking them down |
| Resisting arrest as they’re kicked on the ground |
| Searching their houses and calling them queer |
| I don’t believe that sort of thing happens here |
| Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| (Hey!) Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| Pictures of naked young women are fun |
| In Titbits and Playboy, page three of The Sun |
| There’s no nudes in Gay News, our one magazine |
| But they still find excuses to call it obscene |
| Read how disgusting we are in the press |
| The Telegraph, People and Sunday Express |
| Molesters of children, corruptors of youth |
| It’s there in the paper, it must be the truth |
| (Try and) Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| (Hey!) Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| Don’t try to kid us that if you’re discreet |
| You’re perfectly safe as you walk down the street |
| You don’t have to mince or make bitchy remarks |
| To get beaten unconscious and left in the dark |
| I had a friend who was gentle and short |
| He was lonely one evening and went for a walk |
| Queerbashers caught him, kicked in his teeth |
| He was only hospitalised for a week |
| (And he still bears the scars) |
| Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| (Hey!) Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| And sit back and watch as they close down our clubs |
| Arrest us for meeting and raid all our pubs |
| Make sure your boyfriend’s at least 21 |
| So only your friends and your brothers get done |
| Lie to your workmates, lie to your folks |
| Put down the queens, tell anti-queer jokes |
| Gay Lib’s ridiculous, join their laughter |
| 'The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?' |
| (Tell them!) |
| Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| (Hey!) Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy that way |
| (Hey!) Sing if you’re glad to be gay |
| Sing if you’re happy this way |
