Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

REGULAR GUY
He walks like a woman
when he waddles across the road
and he points and he pirouettes
and he tries to forget
that he’s still in the closet
and he’s not coming out yet
don’t walk behind him if you
really want to be his friend
but he pouts and powders his nose
and shares his sister’s clothes
and he stops the traffic when
he walks up the frog ‘n’ toad
he’s up and he’s up and he’s high
like the moon in the sky
and he thinks that no one knows
that he’s no regular guy.
But I’ve been told that he talks
like a woman from the street
he walks like a woman
when he waddles across the road
and he points and he pirouettes
and he tries to forget
that he’s still in the closet
and he’s not coming out yet
don’t walk behind him if you
really want to be his friend
but he pouts and powders his nose
and shares his sister’s clothes
and he stops the traffic when
he walks up the frog ‘n’ toad.
