I’m a Transvest-lite

I first heard Frank say, he wanted to dress like Fay Wray I wanted that too but what could I do in junior high school in L.A My heart skipped in the scene, he said you gotta be it, not just dream It was a taboo I knew I wouldn’t pursue, I didn’t have the self esteem I gotta confess that I like to cross dress And I’ve been doing it since I was 13 It’s hard to tell bros that you wear women’s clothes Even in the “open minded” punk scene You’d probably get hurt in heels and a skirt When you’re in the middle of a circle pit So I’d only wear panties under boxers to keep it all a secret Now I’m telling everyone cuz it’s fun and I don’t give a shit Forward 30 years, I still had the same fears Then I saw Hedwig play a Bilgewaters gig And I felt the same envy and tears I decided right there, I can’t be bothered to care What other people think, I’m gonna dye my pubes pink And throw out all my Hanes underwear I’m not transgender, I’m a lazy crossdresser Who thinks make up is too much of an ordeal I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes Not for the look but how it makes me feel I don’t need things just right, I’m a tranvest-lite I only shave to do the Time Warp midnight Saturday I’m done with self-pity, I don’t have to feel shitty Cuz I wanna look pretty so I give it the old city college try Don’t get me wrong, I still wanna be a guy Who sometimes likes to dress like a girl He sometimes likes to wear diamonds and pearls Don’t think I don’t know I’m not foolin’ anyone He’s a cross between Adele and Charlie Chaplin You know it’s not just girls who just wanna have fun!
