there was a gay
there was a gay
that wasn't the same as today
gay Paree they say
gay apparel clothes o.k.
gay 90's before the turn of the century hey
all meaning a different word at play
gay old time
so different then today
Enola mothers plane so gay
so remember when you hear that word
there was a gay
that wasn't the same as today
a straight answer can't change yesterday
there was a gay
that wasn't the same as today
