If Judy Garland was a heir lipped still born
Would the Wizard of Oz still be in existence?
Would Peter Thatchell still have this much percistance? 
Would you fight for friends of Doroty alike
If Garland had decided to be a friend of the dyke?

If Judy Garland was a heir lipped still born
Would the drags at Stonewall have thrown the first shot?
saddened by her death causing the liberation riot?
Would the Stonewall charity have a problem with the transexual
If Garland decided to become a Haverd intellectual?

If Judy Garland was a heir lipped still born
Would Liza Minelli had fossed her way through cabaret?
Married David Guest whos quite clearly gay?
Would Lorna Luft been banished to the wing?
If Garland has decided Lorna could sing?

If Judy Garland was a heir lipped still born 
Would of Elton John jumped out of his closet?
Sang with Ru Paul or penned Lady Di's composit?
Would Lady Di even have Died? 
If Judy Garland was just pushed aside

If Judy Garland was a heir lipped still born
Would Broadway be crawling with dancing queens
camp, carnivorous, crass cocaine fiends
Would gay culture still be so deviod
If Garland had read the works of Frued 

If Judy Garland was a heir lipped still born
Would Muscle Marys still die in their own defecation?
In back rooms of Fire, The Hoist or Queer Nation?
Would Susan Sontag have written this dribbling racket
If Garland was born with a clef pallet!
