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