verse 1
Am F
I first heard Frank say
Am G
He wanted to dress like Faye Wray
F G E/G# Am
I wanted that too but what could I do
F C G
In junior high school in LA?
Am F
My heart skipped in the scene
Am G
He said you gotta be it, not just dream
F G E/G# Am
It was a taboo I knew I wouldn't pursue
F C G
I didn't have the self-esteem
C G/B
I gotta confess that I like to cross dress
Am F
And I've been doing it since I was 13
C G/B
It's hard to tell bros that you wear women's clothes
D G
Even in the “open-minded” punk scene
F G
You'd probably get hurt in heels and a skirt
C G/B Am G
When you're in the middle of a circle pit
F G Am
So I'd only wear panties under boxers to keep it all a secret
F G
Now I'm telling everyone 'cause it's fun and I don't give a shit

verse 2
Am F
Forward 30 years
Am G
I still had the same fears
F G E/G# Am
Then I saw Hedwig play at Bilgewater's gig
F C G
And I felt the same envy and tears
Am F
I decided right there
Am G
I can't be bothered to care
F G E Gm Am
What other people think, I'm gonna dye my pubes pink
F C Am
And throw out all my Hanes underwear
C G/B
I'm not transgender, I'm a lazy crossdresser
Am F
Who thinks makeup is too much of an ordeal
C G/B
I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes
D G
Not for the look, but how it makes me feel
F G
I don't need things just right, I'm a tranvest-lite
C G/B Am G
I only shave to do the Time Warp midnight Saturday
F G
I'm done with self-pity, I don't have to feel shitty
E/G# Am F
'Cause I wanna look pretty, so I give it the old city College try
G Am
Don't get me wrong, I still wanna be a guy
F G
Who sometimes likes to dress like a girl
E/G# Am
(He sometimes likes to wear diamonds and pearls)
F G
Don't think I don't know I'm not fooling anyone
E/G# Am
(He's a cross between Adele and Charlie Chaplin)
F G
You gotta know it's not just girls
C
who just wanna have fun!
