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 ****

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!
