Chester’s Gay

(sung to the melody of 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.

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.
