Not only poofs
par Elton John

Not only poofs do ballet Dad
Some of them are married
You should see their muscles Dad
From all the girls they´ve carried
Look, normal blokes do normal things
Like wrestling or tennis
What blokes around here do wrestling
I´m warning you lad
Tennis?
You´re banned from bloody ballet
You´re banned from boxing too
You´re looking after Nanna
Don´t want a word from you
You´re banned from all this hoovery
And any of that stuff
I´ll not have any son of mine going on like a poof
But I´m not a poof Dad
All I want to do is ballet
Not only poofs do ballet Dad
Wayne Sleep, it´s nearly sport
Wayne Sleep? you must be joking son
It´s bent as the five bob note
Oh but Dad it takes stamina
It´s just like doing games
Don´t talk like a lass son
They´ll call you bleeding names
You´re banned from bloody ballet
You´re banned from boxing too
You´re looking after Nanna
Not another word from you
You banned from all that hoovery
And not a doubt in here
I´ll not have any son of mine going around like a queer
I don´t care
You should care
I don´t care
You will bloody care
I´ll not have uphill gardening
I´ll not have lifting shirts
If any bum boy comes near you
I´ll hit him where it hurts
Not only poofs do ballet Dad
It´s very democratic
You get to dance with girls as well
You must think I´m palatic
I just want to dance, I just want to be free
I just to express being me
You´re banned!
And I´m just a kid
And I just want to be
I just want to be free to be me, Dad, me
You banned from bloody ballet
You banned from boxing too
You´re looking after Nanna
Don´t want a word from you
You banned from all this hoovery
And any of that stuff
I´ll not have any son of mine going on like a poof
Some of them are married
You should see their muscles Dad
From all the girls they´ve carried
Look, normal blokes do normal things
Like wrestling or tennis
What blokes around here do wrestling
I´m warning you lad
Tennis?
You´re banned from bloody ballet
You´re banned from boxing too
You´re looking after Nanna
Don´t want a word from you
You´re banned from all this hoovery
