OK,
here
it
is
at
last,
and
another
one
to
bring
joy
to
your
queer
hearts:
We
Three
Queens
We
three
queens
of
Oxford
Street
are
Bearing
cash
we
come
from
afar
Pleasure
seeking,
quietly
freaking,
Off
to
a
great
gay
bar!
Oh-OH!
(refrain)
Bars
of
wonder,
bars
of
night,
Bars
with
clon-ed
beauty
bright
Old
and
faded,
young
and
jaded
-
All
look
better
when
I'm
tight!
Spray
your
hair
and
shrink
your
jeans
Trim
your
mo
and
hit
the
scene
Let's
go
disco,
Frisco,
Crisco
Don't
ask
me
what
it
means...
Oh-OH!
(refrain)
Nothing
like
a
night
with
the
boys:
The
glitter,
the
glamour,
the
amyl,
the
noise!
Every
barman
cute
and
charmin'
One
of
my
lifelong
joys.
Oh-OH!
(refrain)
Whether
you're
up,
or
whether
you're
down
Life
begins
at
Oxford
and
Crown
Cap's
and
Flo's
and
Shift
it
goes
Round
and
round
and
round...
Oh-OH!
(refrain)
(Anon)
You
can
tell
it's
a
pretty
old
one
by
the
references
to
old
defunct
nightclubs...
My
final
contribution
to
queer
cheer
is:
Hark,
the
Herald
Fairies
Shout
(to
the
tune
of
Hark!
the
Herald
Angels
Sing)
Hark!
the
herald
fairies
shout,
Gay
is
good,
and
gays
are
out!
Out
of
closets,
out
to
stay,
Liberation's
on
its
way.
Some
they
laughed
at,
some
they
jailed
Some
they
sacked,
but
still
they
failed
to
Crush
the
pride
that
makes
us
free
Gays
in
solidarity!
Hark!
the
herald
fairies
shout,
Gay
is
good,
and
Gays
are
out!
Told
us
we
were
weak
and
sad
Monsters,
perverts,
sick
or
mad
Told
us
we
should
know
our
place
Strangers
to
the
human
race.
Turned
out
this
was
just
a
rumour
-
Glad
we
kept
our
sense
of
humour!
Smashed
the
lies
and
learned
to
care
Now
we've
love
and
life
to
share.
Hark!
the
herald
fairies
shout,
Gay
is
good,
and
Gays
are
out!
(By

And
a
very
happy
Bah!
Humbug!
to
you
all...
Susan
