These young gentlemen
express their availability
to me with tact and subtlety
My style, my bearing gives the impression
- and I can understand -
that I'm in drag as a wisely and
experienced gay man
These young men
The strays know me well from their alleyways
and deep in their shade
When I sharp and turn what catches my eye
is usually not a young man
These young gentlemen
express their availability
But I like women who once were girls
just as I was once a boy
I think in most cases they crave
my approval more than my pleasure
But I'm sure if I were to offer them both
they'd be happy for the measure
(chorus)
But it's to my loss so many young men
and so few women sidle up to me -
For to tell the truth - and surely my lust
I much prefer the taste and the touch
of a woman and her musk
These young men
The women who were once girls
as I was once a boy -
It is they with whom I would prefer
to spend some carnal joy
