[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]
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SCREECHING WEASEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
