 Intro
 I've seen  these people described  as mad
 But find  men kissing too odd
 Say  all their friends are gay  when in fact
 They gave a man  in tight vest a quick nod
 And all those threats if you keep kissing
 They're gonna go report you to god
 Yet if Christ really had that many disciples
 There was probably one of you in his squad
 And any news  you receive would lead  you to believe
 Of the other  world little is known
 So that every  gay presenter should really  wear a sweater
 With kids  don't try this at home
There  are gay men you've knocked homophobics clean out
When  most would have turned and ran
Gay  men who hate it when they get called queer
And  gay men who don't give a damn
Some  gay men go wearing  women's makeup
 Just to  prove to themselves they can
 And on the masculine  side of this whole  wide world
There  is no 101% man
 Those who have only seen Gay Pride
 Think it's a life long license to shock
 But men have kissed men since way back when
 If you were caught you'd be put in a stock
 And any news you receive would lead you to believe
 Of the other world little is known
 So that every gay presenter should really wear a sweater
 With kids don't try this at home
 There are gay men who've knocked homophobics clean out
 When most would have turned and ran
 Gay men who hate it when they get called queer
 And gay men who don't give a damn
 Some gay men go wearing women's makeup
 Just to prove to themselves they can
 And on the masculine side of this whole wide world
 There's no 101% man
 And when the Tom Robinson band sang
 "Sing if you're glad to be gay"
 We all joined in, and though most of us weren't
 The song seemed to show us the way
 And as the song reached it's end you looked for the friend that
 That made singing along feel O.K
 It aint San Francisco but your end of term disco
 And the dancefloor's beginning to sway
 There are gay who've knocked homophobices clean out
 When most would have turned and ran
 Gay men who hate it when they get called queer
 And gay men who don't give a damn
 Some gay men go wearing women's makeup
 Just to prove to themselves they can
 And on the masculine side of this whole wide world
 There's no 101% man
