Don't ask, don't tell, passed from Clinton on down! [1]
You just shut up and they'll keep you around.
There's no gay pride, you'll be scolded if found.
Don't ask, don't tell, can't have fun on the town! [2]

The Mideast places we visit are so zany,
Don't like guys who're gay;
I know my grandpa wouldn't kiss any in bygone day.
Gotta read the polls, clown,
From Fr'isco on down to L.A., here's what they say.

Don't ask, don't tell, passed from Clinton on down,
You just shut up and they'll keep you around.
There's no gay pride, you'll be scolded if found.
Don't ask, don't tell, can't have fun on the town!

Man, Afghan women are not dressed for pattin', so the fellows say;
There's just one thing necessary in man-frattin',
When you can trust one gay.
Gotta stick up your mate, baby, heaven can't wait;
Try our way of just-fun play.

Don't ask, don't tell, passed from Clinton on down,
You just shut up and they'll keep you around.
There's no gay pride, you'll be scolded if found.
Don't ask, don't tell, can't have fun on the town!

We veiled to please and said we'd quit a-pokin', stay in manly way.
We'll walk those streets till the wars are over
If we can safely say, "Our most fabulous right is two-fork," [3]
In the light of day, we will be gay.

Don't ask, don't tell, it's been too long around,
But donkey's up [4] and they're batting it down.
We'll feel inside that our souls are unbound;
Just ask, we'll tell, and have fun on the town!
