The Lyrics
Like a queen with breasts,
How well I am dressed.
Get dolled up for the ball,
I'll come frocked as a gal,
Looking like a queen.
How well I am dressed.
Dress, then egress; to fest, ingress.
And yes, I confess:
Don't want to arrive
Attired as a guy
'Cause I won't come alive;
Dudes' duds don't get me high.
The ball makes my heart soar--
(Down there on the dance floor).
I seek, a gigolo, to dance--
Isn't that what they're for?--
Let it be he who wears the pants.
Like a queen with breasts,
How well I am dressed
Get dolled up for the ball,
I'll come frocked as gal Gaul,
Looking like a queen.
Tough titty
For the law.
Got writty
When they saw
Me not in jeans--
Start dictating:
"Dress as a king,
Not like a queen!"
How well I am dressed.
Get dolled up for the ball,
I'll come frocked as a gal,
Looking like a queen.
How well I am dressed.
Dress, then egress; to fest, ingress.
And yes, I confess:
Don't want to arrive
Attired as a guy
'Cause I won't come alive;
Dudes' duds don't get me high.
The ball makes my heart soar--
(Down there on the dance floor).
I seek, a gigolo, to dance--
Isn't that what they're for?--
Let it be he who wears the pants.
Like a queen with breasts,
How well I am dressed
Get dolled up for the ball,
I'll come frocked as gal Gaul,
Looking like a queen.
Tough titty
For the law.
Got writty
When they saw
Me not in jeans--
Start dictating:
"Dress as a king,
Not like a queen!"
