lyrics

started at the age of 4, my mother went to the grocery store
went sneaking through her bedroom door
to find something in a size 4
sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls
gi joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only
king for a day, princess by dawn
king for a day in a leather thong
king for a day, princess by dawn
just wait 'till all the guys get a load of me
my daddy threw me in therapy, he thinks i'm not a real man
who put the drag in the drag queen?
don't knock it until you tried it
