Here's mine:

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.
