Drag Queen Blues (Live at The Rainbow Theatre, London)

Thank you

Um, just by, I always ask this every night

But um, is there anyone here called George? Oh

Right, so well

This is a love song you see and it is dedicated to anyone here that is called George

And uh, and if you're sitting with someone called George

It would be a good idea for you to sort of move your seat

Or, unless you sort of like a bit of a joke

In which case you could sort of stick your hand over their head like that

So we don't see where they are and we 'gon laugh

Alright, and as I said this is a love song

And it is called Drag Queen Blues

My friend George is a drag Queen called Nancy

Pray tell me which are you tonight?

If you're George let's have a game of snooker

If you're Nancy let's turn out the light

For George is a foreman in a coal-mine

(I did this in Cardiff last week who'd imagine I'd win)

But changes when the hooter goes at five

From a snooker-playing friend of yours truly

To a man I would like to make my wife

For Nancy brings me midnight satisfaction

And stays with me until the morning light

The he's off to his work down a coal-shaft

Where he ain't such a delicate sight

Oh Nancy you're the girl that I think of

But George I know she's part of you

But it's Nancy not you that I fancy, Nancy

Tell me George tell me what can I do?

I'm in love with half a man that's a lady

And the half that ain't no lady is my best friend

Nancy I would like to share my name with

But George is not the type I could offend

So George take off your dress put on your trousers, say loud

I've got to shave your Nancy from my head

So tonight I am dining with another

One half's called Freda and the other half is Fred

Did anybody like that one?

Should I, shoild I do it again?
