I have never kissed a man–
Yet somebody has asked my hand
A beautiful person
A wonderful person
A gem in a million grains of sand
Why do you not understand?
A beautiful person
A wonderful person
Who’s part of her own rock band
And now what do you demand?
A beautiful person
A wonderful person
You say our love should be banned?
I am sure you misunderstand–
She’s a beautiful person–
A wonderful person
The most wonderful lesbian in all the land.
