Ensemble:
(singing)

He's so gay
(He's so gay)
He's very very gay
He's so gay
(He's gay)

Brown Moses:

Yes, he is
I guess he likes it
Yeah

Ensemble:

And he likes to be that way
With his keys on the right

Brown Moses:

Uh-huh

Ensemble:

He's into rubber every night

Brown Moses:

Into . . . into rubber?
Wha . . . the boy's into rubber every night!

Ensemble:

He's so gay
He's so gay

Brown Moses:

Oh, my goodness
Whoo . . .

Ensemble:

He's ALMOST EVERYONE TODAY

He's okay
He's okay

Brown Moses:

Yeah, that's what they say

Ensemble:

He's got a role he wants to play

Brown Moses:

Aww . . . look, have you ever SMELLED rubber?

Ensemble:

He's okay
He's okay

Brown Moses:

I guess it's okay, l-look at his woman, yeah . . .
I-I guess it's all right

Ensemble:

He's just a cowboy for a day

Brown Moses:

Mm-hmm

Ensemble:

Of course, his evening's not complete

Brown Moses:

Uh-huh

Ensemble:

Without some meat in the seat;

Brown Moses:

Don't tell me that

Ensemble:

Let's skate away
Down Santa Monica today
(Well well well)

Maybe he wants a little spanking

Brown Moses:

Uh . . . a spanking?

Ensemble:

Maybe he'll eat a little chain

Brown Moses:

Uh . . . well, eat the chain

Ensemble:

Maybe his lover should be thanking him

Brown Moses:

Uh-huh

Ensemble:

For the way he makes it sprinkle

Brown Moses:

Wait a minute . . .
Wh . . .

Ensemble:

Into drops of GOLDEN RAIN

Brown Moses:

M . . . makin' into rai . . . ?
Oh no!
What is the problem?
Uh-oh
UHH-OHh

Ensemble:

He's so gay
He's so gay

Brown Moses:

Yeah, that's what it is

Ensemble:

He rules the city in a way

Brown Moses:

Ohh boy . . .

Ensemble:

You could say
(You could say)

Brown Moses:

Wha . . . what could ya say?

Ensemble:

It's sorta different today

Brown Moses:

I agree

Ensemble:

All the taffeta and chintz

Brown Moses:

Uh . . . 'least the boy ain't gonna reproduce hisself again

Ensemble:

And every Leather Boy's a PRINCE

Brown Moses:
