RANSVESTIA

Well, 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 Mama, Mama'd 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. 'Cause when he put's on that dress

He feels like a princess.

He's not a dandy, he's only living out a fantasy.

He's not a pansie, 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 to cope at last.

She's got the best of both worlds and she's really in a state of elation. She says that it helps their relationship.

She says the change is as good as the rest.

And their friends are finally coming around to their way of thinking.

She wears the trousers and smokes a pipe, And he washes up, she helps him wipe. 'Cause when he puts on that dress

He looks like a princess.

He's out of the wardrobe and he is feeling alright. He's out of the wardrobe and he is feeling satisfied. Now it's farewell to the past, his secret's out at last.

He's out of the wardrobe and now he has no regrets.
