[Notes]
* (chord)^ = chord is arpeggiated
* All E chords are X 7 9 9 X X X and all F# chords are X 9 11 11 X X X.
* Lyrics are my best guess, as a sheet is not included with the album.

[B / C# / E] x2

[Verse]:
B                                                  C#      E
  I got a little list and I've been working out my limp wrist
B                                                 C#        E
  See you in orange drag(?), I think I wanna be a faggot, man
B                                   C#    E        B
Mincing ninny(?), prince and fairy, merry little queen
                                                  C#      E
A fruit-splitter's(?) wet dream, a dance boy with wing(?)

[Chorus]:
B         F#    G#         E      B
  I wanna be, I wanna be a homosexual
        F#  G#         E      B
I wanna be, wanna be a homosexual
        F#  G#         E      B
I wanna be, wanna be a homosexual
        F#  G#  E
I wanna be

[Verse]:
Shock the middle class, take it up your punk rock ass
You rub your little thing when you see phony dykes in Penthouse magazine
So what's the difference, Mister Greenwrench (?), you just need a man
A beefy little fag to take you out in drag, oh yeah

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]:
E           F#                D#                         G#
  Call me a faggot, call me a butt-lovin', fudge packin' queer
        E                               F#
I don't care cause it's the straight in straight edge
              D#               G#            E               F#
That makes me wanna drink your beer and be a pansy, and be a homo

[Verse]:
Shock the middle class, take it up your punk rock ass
You rub your puny thing when you see studs with tight jeans pass you on the
street
Who wears short shorts, you wear short shorts, you're so full of shit
Why don't you admit you don't have the balls to be a queer

[Repeat chorus and end on B]
