That bit of verse you quoted Pat was from a song Johnny Silvo used to sing, I think it was called Queer Things.
I can remember most of the words, but I can't sing it anymore, as it's adjudged non PC. I found that those who enjoyed it most weren't heterosexual. However PC means that while you can laugh at yourself, nobody else is allowed to join in!
Another verse.
He's never been to gay Paris
But he's as gay as gay can be
His friends they are the queerest band
They're turning our home into a fairyland.
Cho
Oh no, say it couldn't be
Queer things are happening to me.
