Lavender Country
Clara Fraser, Clara Fraser
[Verse 1]
Thank you, Carol Cole, my clever blond bombshell
For making up some scuttlebutt and tarnish
Let's say her attitude is cranky
There's been some hanky panky
With a trainee by the name of Megan Cornish
Let's say the chair of your employee rights committee
Is a Trotskyite and a Marxist albatross
She nixed my negative action plan
She cut my throat on a witness stand
Miss Cole, you got to show her who's the boss
She nixed my negative action plan
She cut my throat on a witness stand
Miss Cole, you got to show her who's the boss
[Chorus]
Clara Fraser, Clara Fraser
Let's print up a phony leaflet to disgracе her
She's a commie, shе's a dyke
Her politics ain't ladylike
I just can't stand her abrasive behavior
[Verse 2]
I know, Miss Cole, it ain't exactly cricket
To spy on your employees while they picket
But for the sake of her transition
Not to mention your position
Get me her FBI file and quick step it
When she joined the linemen in a walkout
She threw the downtown office in a dither
She's a striker, a wage hiker
She's the steno pool's pied piper
Every file clerk and typer walked out with her
She's a striker, a wage hiker
She's the steno pool's pied piper
Every file clerk and typer walked out with her
[Chorus]
Clara Fraser, Clara Fraser
All the rules of etiquette can't save her
She's a commie, she's a dyke
Her politics ain't ladylike
I just can't stand her abrasive behavior
[Bridge]
Oh, the many brands of suppression
Racism, sexism, heterosexism, ageism, classism
Are historical
They have not always been with us
It was not ever thus
And it's going to be this way
Come the revolution
[Verse 3]
Thank you, Carole Cole, my clever hatchet girl
You're the Margaret Thatcher of City Light
You came up with the perfect scam
The five percent reduction plan
We'll just lay her off without a fight
She never did pledge my oath of loyalty
'Cause she loves Karl Marx more than she loves me
So let's go give the axe to Clara Fraser
That's an order from King George Gordon Vicary
She never would pledge my oath of loyalty
'Cause she loves Karl Marx more than she loves me
So let's go give the axe to Clara Fraser
That's an order from King George Gordon Vicary
[Chorus]
Clara Fraser (Clara Fraser)
Clara Fraser (Clara Fraser)
Got a tongue that's sharper than my Gillette razor
She's a commie, she's a dyke
Her politics ain't ladylike
I just can't stand her abrasive behavior
Clara Fraser (Clara Fraser)
That damn Fraser (Clara Fraser)
Oh, I doubt that Jesus Christ himself could save her
She's a commie, she's a dyke
Her politics ain't ladylike
I just can't stand her abrasive behavior
