Influenced by Queers Songtext
von Judy Small

You see them on the television
Hear them on the radio
You read it in the magazines
It′s everywhere you go
I don't care what people do
Behind the locks of bedroom doors
Who you are in private there
Is nobody′s affair but yours
But there's a line that should be drawn
In order to avoid the tears
And I don't want my children
Being influenced by queers
I don′t want my children
Being influenced by queers.


Ok so tear down the celiing of Sistene Chapel
Destroy the Mona Lisa or the Pieta
Smash all the recordings of Tchaikovsky′s music
Don't let them learn of Lawrance of Arabia
Don′t let them see the movies of Marlene Dietrich
Greta Garbo Dirk Borgarde or Doris Day
Don't let them wear Gaultier or Gianni Versace
And make sure they don′t see
Any Rock Hudson on the way.

Liberace Nurejeb and Dame Joan Hammoond
Peter Allen Freddy Mercury and Melissa E
Elton John and Culture Club and Tracy Chapman
And don't let them see Ellen or listen to KD

Make sure they stay away from Keynes and Plato
Don′t let them read Patrick White or Geertrude Stein
Don't let them watch a tennis match or golf or softball
Don't let them watch that doctor there on channel nine
And please don′t let them listen to this song of mine.

Yeah tear down the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel
(If you don′t want your children
Being influenced by queers)
Burn all recordings of Tchaikovsky's music
(If you don′t want you children being influenced by queers)
Don't let them see the movies of Marlene Dietrich
(If you don′t want your children being influenced by queers)
Don't let them wear Gaultier or Gianni Versace
(If you don′t want your children being influenced by queers)
Fade...
