I’m a Transvest-lite

I first heard Frank say
He wanted to dress like Fay Wray
I wanted that too but what could I
Do in junior high school in LA
My heart skipped in the scene, he
Said you gotta be it, not just dream
It was a taboo I knew I wouldn’t pursue
I didn’t have the self esteem

I gotta confess that I like to cross dress
And I’ve been doing it since I was 13
It’s hard to tell bros that
You wear women’s clothes
Even in the "open minded" punk scene
You’d probably get hurt in heels and a skirt
When you’re in the middle of a circle pit
So I’d only wear panties under boxers
To keep it all a secret
Now I’m telling everyone cuz it’s fun
And I don’t give a shit
Forward 30 years, I still had the same fears
Then I saw Hedwig play a Bilgewaters gig
And I felt the same envy and tears
I decided right there
I can’t be bothered to care
What other people think
I’m gonna dye my pubes pink
And throw out all my Hanes underwear

I’m not transgender, I’m a lazy crossdresser
Who thinks make up is too much of an ordeal
I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes
Not for the look but how it makes me feel
I don’t need things just right
I’m a tranvest-lite i only shave to do the
Time Warp midnight Saturday
I’m done with self-pity
I don’t have to feel shitty
Cuz I wanna look pretty so I give
It the old city college try
Don’t get me wrong, I still wanna be a guy
Who sometimes likes to dress like a girl
He sometimes likes to wear
Diamonds and pearls don’t think I don’t know
I’m not foolin’ anyone
He’s a cross between Adele
And Charlie Chaplin
You know it’s not just girls
Who just wanna have fun!
