[B / C# / E] x2
[Verse]:
B C# E
I got a little lisp and I've been working on my limp wrist
B C# E
Women are a drag, I think I wanna be a faggot, man
B C# E B
A mincing ninny, prancing fairy, merry little queen
C# E
A Bruce LaBruce wet dream, a Nancy boy with wings
[Chorus]:
B F# G# E B
I wanna be, I wanna be a homosexual
F# G# E B
I wanna be, wanna be a homosexual
F# G# E B
I wanna be, wanna be a homosexual
F# G# E
I wanna be
[Verse]:
Shock the middle class, take it up your punk rock ass
You rub your little thing when you see phony dykes in Penthouse magazine
So what's the difference, Mister Clean Rinse, you just need a man
A beefy leather fag to take you out in drag, oh yeah
[Repeat chorus]
[Bridge]:
E F# D# G#
Call me a faggot, call me a butt-lovin', fudge packin' queer
E F#
I don't care cause it's the straight in straight edge
D# G# E F#
That makes me wanna drink your beer and be a pansy, and be a homo
[Verse]:
Shock the middle class, take it up your punk rock ass
You rub your puny thing when you see studs with tight jeans pass you on the street
Who wears short shorts, you wear short shorts, you're so full of shit
Why don't you admit it, you don't have the balls to be a queer
[Repeat chorus and end on B]
