Out Of The Wardrobe Lyrics

    Has anybody here seen a chick called dick
    He looks real burly but he's really hip
    He's six feet tall and his arms are all brown and hairy

    Well, he married betty lou back in '65 when you had to be butch to survive
    But lately he's been looking at his wife with mixed emotions
    You see, he's not a common place closet queen
    He shouldn't be hidden, he should be seen
    'cos when he puts on that dress
    He looks like a princess

    The day he came out of the wardrobe
    Betty lou got quite a surprise
    She didn't know whether she should get angry or not bat an eye
    She really couldn't call up her mother
    Mama would positively die
    Should she go or stay or should she try to get a trial separation

    You see, he's not a faggot as you might suppose
    He just feels restricted in conventional clothes
    'cos when he puts on that dress, he feels like a princess

    He's not a dandy, he's only living out a fantasy
    He's not a pansy, he's only being what he wants to be
    Now his life is rearranged and he's grateful for the change
    He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets

    Betty lou didn't know what to do at first
    But she's learning how to cope at last
    She's got the best of both worlds
    And she's really in a state of elation
    She says it helps their relationship
    She says a change is as good as a rest
    And their friends finally coming 'round to their way of thinking
    She wears the trousers and smokes the pipe
    And he washes up
    She helps him wipe
    'cos when he puts on that dress
    He looks like a princess

    He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling alright
    He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling satisfied
    Now it's farewell to the past
    The secret's out at last
    He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets
