Is eh a Gaudee ...

Glad To Be Gay”

(Original Text 1979: Tom Robinson)

The British Police are the best in the world
I don't believe one of these stories I've heard
'Bout them raiding our pubs for no reason at all
Lining the customers up by the wall
Picking out people and knocking them down
Resisting arrest as they're kicked on the ground
Searching their houses and calling them queer
I don't believe that sort of thing happens here

Refrain:
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy this way

Pictures of naked young women are fun
In Titbits and Playboy, page three of The Sun
There's no nudes in Gay News our last magazine
But they still find excuses to call it obscene
Read how disgusting we are in the press
The News of The World and the Sunday Express
Molesters of children, corruptors of youth
It's there in the paper, it must be the truth

Refrain:
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy this way

Have you heard the story about Peter Wells
Who one day was arrested and dragged to the cells
For being in love with a man of 18
The vicar found out they'd been having a scene
The magistrate sent him for trial by the Crown
He even appealed, but they still sent him down
He was only mistreated a couple of years
Cos even in prison they
Look after the queers

Refrain:
Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy this way

So sit back and watch as they close all our clubs
Arrest us for meeting and raid all our pubs
Make sure (that) your boyfriend's at least 21
So only your friends and your brothers get done
Lie to your workmates, lie to your folks
Put down the queens and tell anti-queer jokes
Gay Lib's ridiculous, join their laughter
'The buggers are legal now –
What more are they after?'

Is eh a Gaudee ....

De beste da Wööd is unsa Kiwarei,

Noggade Madaln im Internet, schau!

Bluadjunges Frischfleisch am Hetero-Schdrich.
Des gleiche auf Schwul - is goa ned noamal:

Unsa politische Website - hosd g’head?

Und wauni wen sog, das mi sowos seah grängtd

Und wos bringd indessen das liebe TeVau?

Refrain:
