Senator Larry Craig Ain't Gay

©2007 Garrett Clevenger

Chorus:

G C Senator Larry Craig ain't gay.          He's just red with embarrassment.

D G He was caught red-handed. Guilty he pled.

Em G He's also castin' votes on our country's fate.

G D G He's a pervert or an idiot but Larry Craig ain't gay.

Am D x2 1982 should have been a clue.

C Am G Em He was caught in a scandal when a young page accused.

Am D x2 his colleagues of engaging in gay sex and cocaine.

C Am C Em He issued a denial to save his good name.

Am D x2 It made him mad as hell to be alleged to have felt

C Am G Em boys he employed. Now he's been dealt

Am D x2 a charge of lewd intent, busted by a policeman

C Am C Em in a bathroom seeking sex, dumpin' trust in the trashcan.

{chorus}

Am D x2 I never knew a public restroom

C Am G Em would be the downfall of a senator who blew

Am D x2 the chance to come clean, be a man not a machine

C Am C Em and stand up for equal rights for every human being.

Am D x2 instead he took the path of corruption and attacked

C Am G Em our freedoms guaranteed by blood. We want them back.

Am D x2 While on the side his lewdness gets him fined.

C Am C Em Now when I use a public john, Larry's on my mind.

{chorus}

Am D x2 It's a sad, sad man who's repressed his inner man.

C Am G Em Becomin' your worst enemy would wear on any man.

Am D x2 I hope the day will come when homo's won't have to run

C Am C Em as hetero's and be happy, not numb.

{chorus}

G D G He's a pervert or an idiot. Both just aggravate.

G D C He's a pervert or an idiot. We should evaluate

C G Senator Larry Craig.
