[Jonathan Groff/Queen]
You say
A dandy like me shouldn't be
In this populist play

You cry
Who am I, and while you're wondering why
I sashay going by

Why so sad?
Remember how musical theatre was cloyingly gay?
'Till the public got mad
Now Hamilton's new rearrangement has changed the fad

Straight is back
Soon you'll see
Campy musicals went out with "Glee"
Straight is back
Time will tell
"Kinky Boots" is going straight to hell

New shows come, gay shows close
Guess we've had enough of purple prose
Now the push is to straight
Like an evil foppy disney villain, I'm designed for you to hate

Da da, don't go away
'Cause this little Beatles tune is immune from being gay
Just like "Penny Lane"
It will eat away your brain, like cocaine

They say with so much glitter theatre can't go on
But Broadway will be bitter when glitz is gone

Once, drag queens were the subject
Now history is the subject
The rigid, frigid subject
The metro, het'ro subject

And now I'm
Hated
Berated, relegated
And I sound castrated

Straight is back
It's a cinch
Hedwig put away his Angry Inch
"Hairspray" ran out of breath
And "La Cage" has been revived to death

"Fiddler"'s hot, "Fun Home"'s not
And "Falsettos" is a true long shot
But when push comes to shove
I can only play a killer, not the leading man you love

If you want your play
To play to only standing room, then you'd better not play gay
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay - everybody!

Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay

Straight is the way to play today...
