Avenue Q - If you vere gay

Aah, an afternoon alone with
My favorite book, "broadway
Musicals of the 1940s."
No roommate to bother me
How could it get any better than this?

Oh, hi rod

Hi nicky

Hey rod, you'll never
Guess what happened to
Me on the subway this morning
This guy was smiling at me and talking to me

That's very interesting

He was being real friendly
And I think he was coming on to me
I think he might've thought I was gay

Ahem, so, uh, why are you telling me this?
Why should I care?
I don't care
What did you have for lunch today?

Oh, you don't have to get
All defensive about it, rod

I'm not getting defensive
What do I care about some gay guy you met, okay?
I'm trying to read

Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, rod
I just think it's something we should be able to talk about

I don't want to talk about it
Nicky! this conversation is over

Yeah, but

Over

Well, okay, but just so you know:
If you were gay
That'd be okay
I mean 'cause, hey
I'd like you anyway
Because you see
If it were me
I would feel free
To say that I was gay
(but I'm not gay.)

Nicky, please
I am trying to read
What?

If you were queer

Ah, nicky

I'd still be here

Nicky, I'm trying to read this book

Year after year

Nicky

Because you're dear
To me

Argh

And I know that you

What?

Would accept me too

I would?

If I told you today
"hey! guess what
I'm gay!"
(but I'm not gay.)
I'm happy
Just being with you

High button shoes, pal joey

So what should it
Matter to me
What you do in bed
With guys?

Nicky, that's gross

No it's not
If you were gay
I'd shout hooray

I am not listening

And here I'd stay

La la la la la

But I wouldn't get
In your way

Aaaah

You can count on me
To always be
Beside you every day
To tell you it's okay
You were just born
That way
And, as they say
It's in your dna
You're gay

But I'm not gay

If you were gay

Argh
