Intro  A    D   A    D   A    D  E  
I've Aseen these people descrDibed as mad
But Afind men kissing too Dodd
SAay all their friends are Dgay when in fact
They gave a Eman in tight vest a quick nod
And all those threats if you keep kissing
They're gonna go report you to god
Yet if Christ really had that many disciples
There was probably one of you in his squad
And any Anews you receive would Dlead you to believe
Of the Aother world little is Dknown
So that Aevery gay presenter should Dreally wear a sweater
With Ekids don't try this at home
F#mThere are gay men you've knocked homophobics clean out
EWhen most would have turned and ran
F#mGay men who hate it when they get called queer
EAnd gay men who don't give a damn
ASome gay men go Dwearing women's makeup
Just Ato prove to themselves they Dcan
And on the Amasculine side of this Dwhole wide world
EThere is no 101% man
Those who have only seen Gay Pride
Think it's a life long license to shock
But men have kissed men since way back when
If you were caught you'd be put in a stock
And any news you receive would lead you to believe
Of the other world little is known
So that every gay presenter should really wear a sweater
With kids don't try this at home
There are gay men who've knocked homophobics clean out
When most would have turned and ran
Gay men who hate it when they get called queer
And gay men who don't give a damn
Some gay men go wearing women's makeup
Just to prove to themselves they can
And on the masculine side of this whole wide world
There's no 101% man
And when the Tom Robinson band sang
"Sing if you're glad to be gay"
We all joined in, and though most of us weren't
The song seemed to show us the way
And as the song reached it's end you looked for the friend that
That made singing along feel O.K
It aint San Francisco but your end of term disco
And the dancefloor's beginning to sway
There are gay who've knocked homophobices clean out
When most would have turned and ran
Gay men who hate it when they get called queer
And gay men who don't give a damn
Some gay men go wearing women's makeup
Just to prove to themselves they can
And on the masculine side of this whole wide world
There's no 101% man

Intro

A D

I've seen these people described as mad

A D

But find men kissing too odd

A D

Say all their friends are gay when in fact

They gave a man in tight vest a quick nod

And all those threats if you keep kissing

They're gonna go report you to god

Yet if Christ really had that many disciples

There was probably one of you in his squad

A D

And any news you receive would lead you to believe

A D

Of the other world little is known

A D

So that every gay presenter should really wear a sweater

With kids don't try this at home

F#m

There are gay men you've knocked homophobics clean out

When most would have turned and ran

F#m

Gay men who hate it when they get called queer

And gay men who don't give a damn

A D

Some gay men go wearing women's makeup

A D

Just to prove to themselves they can

A D

And on the masculine side of this whole wide world

There is no 101% man

Those who have only seen Gay Pride

Think it's a life long license to shock

But men have kissed men since way back when

If you were caught you'd be put in a stock

And any news you receive would lead you to believe

Of the other world little is known

So that every gay presenter should really wear a sweater

With kids don't try this at home

There are gay men who've knocked homophobics clean out

When most would have turned and ran

Gay men who hate it when they get called queer

And gay men who don't give a damn

Some gay men go wearing women's makeup

Just to prove to themselves they can

And on the masculine side of this whole wide world

There's no 101% man

And when the Tom Robinson band sang

"Sing if you're glad to be gay"

We all joined in, and though most of us weren't

The song seemed to show us the way

And as the song reached it's end you looked for the friend that

That made singing along feel O.K

It aint San Francisco but your end of term disco

And the dancefloor's beginning to sway

There are gay who've knocked homophobices clean out

When most would have turned and ran

Gay men who hate it when they get called queer

And gay men who don't give a damn

Some gay men go wearing women's makeup

Just to prove to themselves they can

And on the masculine side of this whole wide world

There's no 101% man
