Good To Be Gay

(album: Cabaret '79 - 1982)

It's the same old story all over the world
When a boy meets a boy and a girl meets a girl
We all come together 'cause we're happy to say
It's a natural fact that it's good to be gay

We've been analysed, ridiculed and driven away
By our elders and betters just for growing up gay
They trampled on our feelings
Till we hid them for shame
Well now "Glad to be Gay" is the name of the game

'Cause it's the same old story all over the world
When a boy meets a boy and a girl meets a girl
We all come together 'cause we're happy to say
It's a natural fact that it's good to be gay

Don't feel guilty if you're passing for straight
If you wanna be yourself, well it's never too late
People won't mind if you're honest and gay
You might even find they prefer you that way

'Cause it's the same old story all over the world
When a boy meets a boy and a girl meets a girl
We all come together 'cause we're happy to say
It's a natural fact that it's good to be gay

Some sisters and brothers who are glad to be gay
Say they've no need to join us 'cause they're doing okay
But we need supporting, and we need it today
And besides if they tried it, they'd like it in CHE

'Cause it's the same old story all over the world
When a boy meets a boy and a girl meets a girl
We all come together 'cause we're happy to say
It's a natural fact that it's good to be gay
