Yay for Gay2

Lyrics

{Verse 1} Every June we sacrifice our pale and fragile skin, Marching toward the sunlight just to see our friends again. Connection and togetherness, that's what it's about, Not "shoving it in your face"—so calm your ass right down. Paid fifteen bucks for lemonade, twelve more for some fries, A drag queen just asked me if I'd zip her dress up right. Somebody's met their soul mate, somebody's lost a shoe, And somehow every lesbian knows somebody that you knew. {Pre-Chorus} The music's loud, the glitter's free, The parking situation is insanity! But every year we show up anyway, Because this is our holiday! {Chorus} Pride Month! It's a magical time! Everything's a rainbow and we're standing in long lines! Make some friends, Spend too much money today, Watch the queens performing on the stage! Pride Month! It's a magical time! Sunburned shoulders and waiting in line! Found my people, found my place, Covered in glitter, here come the gays! {Verse 2} The bigots stand there holding signs and praying in the heat, Claiming that we're ruining society out in the street. But all I'm really hearing from the speech they're trying to sell Is, "I think about gay sex more than anyone I know as well!" Love the sign, babe, unleash your inner artist, Your socks and sandals are fighting much harder It's Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E, Unless you're saying Hell belongs specifically to me. {Pre-Chorus 2} They came to stop the party, Now they're part of the show. Half the crowd is taking selfies, Everybody wave hello! {Chorus} Pride Month! It's a magical time! Everything's a rainbow and we're standing in long lines! Make some friends, Spend too much money today, Watch the queens performing on the stage! {Spoken Break} One time I fell at Pride. Not metaphorically. Like... physically. I was blowing bubbles on a wall for reasons I can no longer explain, And I absolutely ate shit. My sibling had to give me a Band-Aid because I was bleeding everywhere. You know that kind of scrape? The kind that burns with the intensity of lit napalm if somebody even looks at it wrong? Yeah. Anyway... I still had a great time. And I got an Italian ice. ...that's the whole story. {Final Chorus} Pride Month! (Choir: It's a magical time!) So let us be queer, It ain't a crime! Every company supports us for thirty whole days, Buy a rainbow, support the gays! Pride Month! [Choir: It's a magical time!] Laugh with your friends, Dance and shine! For one month a year the whole world glows, And somehow glitter gets in places nobody knows! {Outro} Pride Month! Pride Month! It's a magical tiiiiiime! Now excuse me while I remove glitter from my house Until approximately November.
