It’s the festive season, Hip hip hooray!
Now’s a good time to be happy and Gay
This time of year can be lonely and cold
So get out those glad-rags, be daring. Be bold.
Try a new lipstick, buy a sprig of mistletoe
Tune into the season, its ringing Go Gay Go!
Dry clean that jacket. Put on that bow tie
If you feel like snogging, don’t think why?
Christmas time can be stressful and fraught
Overspending, overeating, doing what you ought
So relax and smile a little, look around you, it’s free.
Enjoy the many pleasures of our Community
Be kind, be nice, it is the seasonal mission
Spread love and goodwill, I give you my permission
Just one more thing to say before I go
I wish you a Merry Xmas, with lots of Yo, Ho, Ho!
Who cares that they hate us
Out there, on the street.
Here we have a place,
We can secretly meet.
We can dress how we like,
Just relax and enjoy
Without fear or shame,
Be a girl or a boy.
We adopt new names,
Play gender games
Love outside the Law
At the Caravan Club.
It has to be said
I feel quite Queer
I wonder if its because
Lady D. is sitting near.
I wouldn’t say no,
Shouldn’t like to miss
An opportunity if it arose
And, she offered me a kiss
I’m feeling, oh so Queer!
On a cushion I shall lie
Perhaps she might come over
And we’ll kiss & coo & sigh.
I love it here,
It’s naughty, safe & fun.
We can be ourselves
No need to hide or run.
At The Caravan Club.
