Chester’s Gay

CHESTER’S GAY

(lyrics by David Lefkowitz. Melody: John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s “Yesterday”)


Chester’s gay
Came out to his parents yesterday
Now he needs a place to hide away
They can’t believe that Chester’s gay

They can’t see
he’s been hiding objects anally
And removing them quite painfully
Aw, Chester’s gay as a cucumber tree

He’ll go out to bars
and he’ll throw the night away
Then he’ll sit in cars and he’ll blow
Because he’s gay (gay gay gay)

Chester’s gay
And I don’t just mean he’s gay for pay
He’s a donut puncher all the way
Oh, why did Chester turn that way?

Mom and dad,
They don’t want to see their son as bad
But their Christian faith is ironclad
So now they’re feeling oh so sad.

He’ll fly to the Keys
where he’ll please a host of boys
Down on hands and knees
he will squeeze their greased-up toys (toys toys toys)

Chester’s queer
He puts massive objects in his rear
Too bad mom and dad are so severe
`cause it’s so clear that Chester’s gay.

Mm hmm hmm hmm
Chester’s gay.

*********************

NOTES & BACKSTORY:
Backed by a karaoke instrumental of “Yesterday” and sprinkled with soundbites like “Hoowah!” and Harvey Fierstein cooing “I just love boys,” the song debuted on the March 31, 2018 episode of Dave’s Gone By.

KISS ME, I’M IRISH

(music & lyrics by David Lefkowitz)

I come from down in Donegal
My family comes from Cork
My sisters live in Sligo
Though my brother’s in New York

My background is a source of pride
I’m Celtic through and through
And that makes me superior
To you and you and you

Now, Ireland isn’t perfect
We’ve had our little wars
We may have spilled some English blood
When settling old scores

But look around Hibernia
And how can you complain?
The grass is green and gorgeous
`cause there’s so much fecking rain

Kiss me, I’m Irish
Touch me, I’m a Turk
Marry me, I’m Mexican
and don’t believe in work

It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or what your parents think
So kiss me on the Blarney Stone
And buy me one more drink.

The home of Sean O’Casey
And heavy woolen clothes
There’s Bono and there’s Enya
Apologies for those

The fighting and starvation
They show that we are tough
And when it comes to booze and sex
We never get enough, so

Kiss me, I’m Irish
French me, I’m French
Squeeze me, please, I’m Portuguese
If you can stand the stench

It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or if you’re straight or queer
Just kiss me on St. Patrick’s Day
And buy me one more beer.

Now, you might call me racist
For mocking what I hate
But bashing Jews and towelheads
Is kind of fucking great!

I know that I’m a drunkard
With a three-inch, flaccid penis
But I feel like a porn star
when I’m guzzling my Guinness

There’s nothing we love better
Than a bonny, red-haired girl
To bring her on a date
where we can drink until we hurl

Sure, girls from other lands are fine
But an Irish female’s finer
`Cause she has fluffy flaming fecking hair
`round her vaginer!

Kiss me, I’m Irish
Lick me, I’m a Swede
Shake my hand, I’m African
And all I do is breed

It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or if you’re lower class
So kiss me down in Dublin town
And buy me one more glass.

(slower)
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or if you’re short or tall
Just kiss me, I’m Irish
And give me alkyhol.
