Tom Robinson Band - Glad To Be Gay Lyrics
The British Police are the best in the worldI don't believe one of these stories I've heard'Bout them raiding our pubs for no reason at allLining the customers up by the wallPicking out people and knocking them downResisting arrest as they're kicked on the groundSearching their houses and calling them queerI don't believe that sort of thing happens hereSing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that waySing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that wayPictures of ***** young women are funIn Titbits and Playboy, page three of The SunThere's no *****s in Gay News our one magazineBut they still find excuses to call it obsceneRead how disgusting we are in the pressTelegraph, People and Sunday ExpressMolesters of children, corruptors of youthIt's there in the paper, it must be the truthSing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that waySing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that wayDon't try to kid us that if you're discreetYou're perfectly safe as you walk down the streetYou don't have to mince or make *****y remarksTo get beaten unconscious and left in the darkI had a friend who was gentle and shortHe was lonely one evening and went for a walkQueer-bashers caught him and kicked in his teethHe was only hospitalised for a weekSing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that waySing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that waySo sit back and watch as they close all our clubsArrest us for meeting and raid all our pubsMake sure your boyfriend's at least 21So only your friends and your brothers get doneLie to your workmates, lie to your folksPut down the queens and tell anti-queer jokesGay Lib's ridiculous, join their laughter'The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?'Sing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that waySing if you're glad to be gaySing if you're happy that way
