[Verse 1]
AmI first heard Frank Fsay
He Amwanted to dress like Faye WGray
I Fwanted that Gtoo but E/G#what could I Amdo
In Fjunior high Cschool in LGA?
AmMy heart skipped in the Fscene
He said you Amgotta be it, not just Gdream
It Fwas a taGboo I knew I E/G#wouldn't purAmsue
I Fdidn't have the Cself-esGteem
[Chorus 1]
I Cgotta confess that I G/Blike to cross dress
And I've been Amdoing it since I was 1F3
It's Chard to tell bros that you G/Bwear women's clothes
Even Din the “open-minded” punk Gscene
You'd Fprobably get hurt in Gheels and a skirt
When you're Cin the middle G/Bof a circle AmpitG  
So I'd Fonly wear panties under Gboxers to keep it all a Amsecret
Now I'm Ftelling everyone 'cause it's Gfun and I don't give a shit
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
AmForward 30 Fyears
I Amstill had the same Gfears
Then I Fsaw HeGdwig play at E/G#Bilgewater's Amgig
And I Ffelt the same Cenvy and Gtears
AmI decided right Fthere
AmI can't be bothered to Gcare
                 F                  GE/Gm         Am  
What other people think, I'm gonna dye my pubes pink
And Fthrow out all my CHanes underGwear
[Chorus 2]
I'm Cnot transgender, I'm a G/Blazy crossdresser
Who thinks Ammakeup is too much of an orFdeal
I Cpaint my toes and wear G/Bshiny tight clothes
Not for the Dlook, but how it makes me Gfeel
I don't Fneed things just right, I'm a Gtranvest-lite
I only Cshave to do the G/BTime Warp midnight AmSaturdayG  
I'm Fdone with self-pity, I don't Ghave to feel shitty
'Cause I E/G#wanna look pretty, so I Amgive it the old city College Ftry
Don't get me Gwrong, I still wanna be a Amguy
Who sometimes Flikes to dress like a Ggirl
(He sometimeE/G#s likes to wear diamonds and Ampearls)
Don't think I don't Fknow I'm not fooling Ganyone
(He's a cross between E/G#Adele and Charlie ChapAmlin)
You gotta know it's Fnot just girlsG  
who just wanna have Cfun!

[Verse 1]

Am F

I first heard Frank say

Am G

He wanted to dress like Faye Wray

F G E/G# Am

I wanted that too but what could I do

F C G

In junior high school in LA?

Am F

My heart skipped in the scene

Am G

He said you gotta be it, not just dream

F G E/G# Am

It was a taboo I knew I wouldn't pursue

F C G

I didn't have the self-esteem

[Chorus 1]

C G/B

I gotta confess that I like to cross dress

Am F

And I've been doing it since I was 13

C G/B

It's hard to tell bros that you wear women's clothes

D G

Even in the “open-minded” punk scene

F G

You'd probably get hurt in heels and a skirt

C G/B Am G

When you're in the middle of a circle pit

F G Am

So I'd only wear panties under boxers to keep it all a secret

F G

Now I'm telling everyone 'cause it's fun and I don't give a shit

Am F

Forward 30 years

Am G

I still had the same fears

Then I saw Hedwig play at Bilgewater's gig

F C G

And I felt the same envy and tears

I decided right there

I can't be bothered to care

E/Gm

What other people think, I'm gonna dye my pubes pink

F C G

And throw out all my Hanes underwear

[Chorus 2]

I'm not transgender, I'm a lazy crossdresser

Am F

Who thinks makeup is too much of an ordeal

I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes

D G

Not for the look, but how it makes me feel

F G

I don't need things just right, I'm a tranvest-lite

C G/B Am G

I only shave to do the Time Warp midnight Saturday

F G

I'm done with self-pity, I don't have to feel shitty

E/G# Am F

'Cause I wanna look pretty, so I give it the old city College try

Don't get me wrong, I still wanna be a guy

(He sometimes likes to wear diamonds and pearls)

F G

Don't think I don't know I'm not fooling anyone

E/G# Am

(He's a cross between Adele and Charlie Chaplin)
