Straight is Back

Lyrics

You say
 A dandy like me shouldn't be in this populous play
 You cry
 Who am I?
 And while you're wondering why
 I sashay going by.
 Why so sad?
 Remember how musical theater was clawingly gay
 Till the public got mad
 Now Hamilton's new rearrangement
 Has changed the fad
 Straight is back
 Soon you'll see
 Campy musicals went out with glee
 Straight is back
 Time will tell
 Kinky boots is going straight to hell
 New shows come
 Gay shows close
 Guess we've had enough of purple prose
 No the push is to straight.
 Like an evil floppy disney villain
 I'm designed for you to hate
 Da da, don't go away
 Cuz this little Beatles tune is immune from being gay
 Just like Penny Lane it'll eat away your brain
 Like cocaine
 They say with so much glitter theater can't go on
 But broadway will be bitter when glitz is gone.
 Once drag queens were the subject
 Now history is the subject
 The rigid frigid subject
 The metro, hetero subject,
 And now I'm hated berated, relegated,
 And I sound castrated
 Straight is back
 It's a cinch
 Hedwig put away his Angry Inch
 Hairspray ran out of breath
 And La Cage has been revived to death
 Fiddler's hot,
 Fun home's not
 And Falsettos is a true long shot
 But when push comes to shove,
 I can only play a killer,
 Not the leading man you love
 If you want your play
 To play to only standing room,
 Then you better not play gay.
 Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
 Everybody!
 Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
 gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
 Straight is the way to play today
