Lyrics:
You've gotta be gay
To make it today
There's no other way
But swishy and fay
You've gotta be gay
You've gotta have a smile on your face
Or they'll put you in your place every time
At the back of the line, life is passing you by
You've gotta be gay
And when you're out with the fellas,
And you're twirling your umbrellas around
It doesn't matter that the patter
Of the rain is coming down
You've gotta be gay
To make it today
There's no other way
But swishy and fay
You've gotta be gay
And when you're out in the city
And the lights are pretty and bright
You're arm in arm with a fellow
On your left and on your right
You've gotta be gay
To make it today
There's no other way
But swishy and fay
You've gotta be gay
You've gotta have a spring in your step
So you put the left in front of the right
Now you're walking with pride
No one's breakin your stride
You've gotta be gay
But when the man comes to town
And he's tryin to bring you down
Just show him that your will isn't bending
And turn that happy ending around
You've gotta be gay
To make it today
There's no other way
you've gotta be gay!
