From the recording It's Okay To Be Gay

Inspired by the Brokeback Mountain mania. It's a great song to do with a live audience.

Lyrics

Back in the day all the cowboys were gay
They rode high in the saddle
With their leather chaps and silver spurs
They could all sing and dance and play the guitar
And nobody seemed to be concerned about the fact
That they spent several months of the year out on the trail
Without the company of women
They seem to have a good time
This song is about tolerances

It's okay to be gay
It's okay to be gay
It's even okay for me to say
It's okay to be gay

The time is now and the closets are open
There's lots of folks standing around that are hoping
Their kids are not the ones coming out
But if they are, we all got to shout

It's okay to be gay
It's okay to be gay
It's even okay for me to say
It's okay to be gay

I'm not offended at all by your gayness
You can do whatever you want to do with your anus
The people who don't like it, they're just jerks
But please, you don't have to show us how it works

It's okay to be gay
It's okay to be gay
It's even okay for me to say
It's okay to be gay
