MY FRIEND GEORGE IS A DRAG QUEEN CALLED NANCY by Richard Digance


My friend George is a drag queen called Nancy;
pray tell me, which are you tonight?
If you're George, let's have a game of snooker,
if you're Nancy let's turn out the light.

For George is a foreman in a coal mine
but changes when the hooter goes at five
from a snooker-playing friend of yours truly
to a man I would like to make my wife,

for Nancy brings me midnight satisfaction
and stays with me until the morning light
then he's off to his work down the coal shaft
where he ain't such a delicate sight.

Oh Nancy, you're the girl that I think of
but George, I know she's part of you,
but it's Nancy, not you, that I fancy
tell me George, tell me what could I do?

I'm in love with half a man that's a lady
and the half that ain't no lady is my best friend.
Nancy I would like to share my name with,
but George is not the type I could offend.

So George, take off your dress put on your trousers
I've gotta shake your Nancy from my head
so tonight I am dining with another
one half's called Freda and the other half is Fred.
