Karaoké My Dead Gay Son Heathers (musical) (Anthony Crivello & Daniel Cooney)

You wait just a minute

Paul

It is ignorant hateful talk like yours

That makes this world a place our boys could not live in

They were not dirty they were not wrong

They were two lonely verses

In the Lord's great song

Our boys were pansies

Bill

Yes my boy's

A homosexual and that don't

Scare me none

I want the world

To know

I love my dead gay son

I've been thinkin', prayin' readin' some magazines

And it's time we opened our eyes

Well, the good Lord made gay penguins

And bonobo chimpanzees

I've seen gay lions

Show their pride in documentaries

If nature gets her orders handed down from God above

Then animal or human

You can't help the one you love

They were not dirty they were not fruits

They were just two stray laces in the Lord's big boots

Well, I never cared for homos much until I reared me one

But now I've learned to love

I love my dead gay son

Now, I say my boy's in heaven and he's tannin' by the pool

The cherubim walk him and him and Jesus says it's cool

They don't have crime or hatred there's no bigotry or cursin'

Just friendly fellows dressed up like their favorite Village Person

They were not dirty they just had flair

They were two bright red ribbons in the Lord's long hair

Well, I used to see a homo and go reachin' for my gun

But now I've learned to love and furthermore

These boys walked hand in hand

These boys they took a stand

They could not wait one second longer to be free

They cast off their disguise

No shame no compromise

Paul, I can't believe that you still refuse to get a clue

After all that we've been through

I'm talkin' you and me in the summer of eighty-three

That was one hell of a fishin' trip

Our job is now continuing

Our job is now continuing the work that they begun the work that they begun

They're up there disco dancing

They're up there disco dancing to the thump of angel wings to the thump of angel wings

They grab a mate and roller skate

They grab a mate and roller skate while Judy Garland sings while Judy Garland sings

They live a joyful afterlife

They live a playful afterlife that's fancy-free and reckless that's fancy-free and reckless

They swing upon the pearly gates

They swing upon the pearly gates and wear a pearly necklace and wear a pearly necklace

They were not dirty

They were not dirty they were good men they were good men

And now they're happy bear cubs

And now they're happy bear cubs in the Lord's big den in the Lord's big den

Go forth

Go forth and love each other now and love each other now

Like our boys

Like our boys would have done would have done

We'll teach the world

We'll teach the world to love to love

The world to love

The world to love

I love my dead gay son

I love my dead gay son

My son

My son my son my son

Dead gay

Dead gay son son
