If you were a woman in 1892 There'd be a lotta things you couldn't do You always had to work and clean And you couldn't leave your husband if he was mean And you couldn't really speak your point of view You couldn't really work or play or even exercise When you're living in a man's world and you're not one of the guys But the weirdest thing girls couldn't do From cascadia to France Is they could never ever never ever never never wear pants! They couldn't wear pants?! They couldn't wear pants. Well if they didn't wear pants, what did they wear? What did they wear? What did they wear? Well first of all, they had to wear like 20 pounds of underwear. First there was the corset, laced really really tight If you couldn't really breathe They'd say it fit just right Then you'd have to wear ten petticoats When it would rain they would get soaked You would drink tea and play croquet In booty boosting bustiers It was awful hard to get around With all these heavy clothes It made it really easy to keep women in the home Wow...that sounds awful. Oh! Don't worry! The story gets a lot better. Great! What happens next? Someone invents the bicycle! Women couldn't really ride with all those extra clothes So the petticoats got lighter and the corset had to go But oh what an embarrassment When you were riding by And your petticoat got caught and over handlebars you'd fly In 1895 Ethel dermont thought of a solution "I'll wear some bloomers!" she said with a determined absolution They look a lot like pants, They'd been around for 50 years But people said that women wearin pants was really weird. April 15th was the day she took her fateful ride The people of Victoria were truly scandalized Oh what a scandal Oh what a sight Parading in her underwear in broad daylight Was that a touch of ankle Was that a bit of skin These infernal garments are such a horrible sin! The police were aroused to action! Women's freedom they detested "You wear that bloomer suit again, you'll surely be arrested!" Have you nothing better to do than harass me while I'm out I don't understand what all this kerfuffle is about! Why is it that a strong women is what men fear? We all deserve to share the right to wear pants upon on our rear Ill turn my bike around, yes you cops have won today But the wheels of change are coming and I'm here to lead the way We can be good wives and mothers if we choose that life to spend But a woman should not be defined by her relationship to men (Harrumph!) The news spread far and wide of Ethel's groundbreaking bike ride And the people agreed That those rules were just silly So now we can wear pants Without thinking twice So don't forget this story the next time you ride your bike!

But the most special one of all I have yet to mention Their name is Hope, a gender variant chicken Hope took the parts of gender that they liked best And added some of this and that and took out all the rest They've got a comb like a rooster And some masculine spurs But they lay eggs like a chicken And nest like a girl Some people think that gender's only blue or pink But even barnyard creatures think that idea really stinks You can wear a dress and play machines all day Or wear Carhartts and boots While ya do ballet And if people don't like the clothes that you're pickin Just tell em bout Hope, the gender variant chicken! They've got a comb like a rooster And some masculine spurs But they lay eggs like a chicken And nest like a girl Hope took the parts of gender That they liked best And added some of this and that and took out all the rest HEY!!

Families come In all shapes and sizes If we're going to get along what we need to realize is There are lots of different ways For us to care for one another All that really matters is that we love each other When my mom had me I didn't have a dad But she had a couple friends that she thought were pretty rad Now we all live together in a big purple house And they're all my moms although nobody has a spouse (chorus) Although my dads are great and can't be beat When my momma comes to see us it's a real special treat She wanted to find people who could take good care of me And now I am a part of a bigger family (chorus) Well golly gee, I sure do feel lucky That both my moms got to help out When they made made I've been so proud since I was a baby That one of my moms is a transgender lady (chorus) Well I really really love my mom and dad you see But there's so many kids and grown-ups here that care about me We can wander round our land without getting in to trouble Cause if there's any danger they'll be there on the double (chorus) Well there's just one of me And just one of him But I couldn't have picked a better dad or friend It doesn't matter if your family is big or small My daddy's been my biggest fan since I could crawl (chorus) Well I'm not quite sure who fell in love with who first But we ended up with four parents And all of them nursed So we grew up healthy and we grew up strong And with a little bit of patience, we all get along (chours)
