Bowling for Soup
I’m Gay (Live 2007)
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick, Chris Burney]
I should've practiced talking for the DVD
Yeah, we could've done- we could've done the word associations
It would've been good
Like I say cock, you say
Cock face
Balls, that's the wrong answer
See, I missed it
Speaking of that, this song is about being happy, how many happy people do we have in the audience?
How many people have a lot of fun at rock and roll concerts?
This song is called I'm Gay, and it's about being happy!

[Verse 1]
Well we've all heard about
How the guys in the band
Weren't the popular kids in school
And now you hate your parents
Cause of the way you turned out
But in the end the blame's on you
And we all sympathize with your torn-apart hearts
Your really artistic worldly views
It sells records when you're sad these days
It's super cool to be mad these days

[Pre-Chorus]
I think rock and roll is really funny
When it's serious
[Chorus]
Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful
Don't hate us if we make you smile
Or if we go the extra mile
To make someone feel better
On a really shitty day
And if you're hearing what I'm saying then
I want to hear you say, "I'm gay!"
(I'm gay!)
Say, "I'm gay!"
(I'm gay!)
Wooooo!

[Verse 2]
Let's start a movement, let's start it right now
And if you don't know where to start
I can show you, I'm your new team captain
Put your left hand over your heart
And repeat after me!

[Hook: Jaret Reddick, Concert Crowd]
It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
(It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual)
It sounds really good when you guys say it, c'mon
It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
(It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual)
Even you guys, okay? Everybody!
It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
(It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual)
Very nice
[Chorus]
Don't hate us cause we're happy
Don't hate us cause we're miserable
Don't hate us if we make you smile
Or if we go the extra mile
To make someone feel better on a really shitty day
And if you're hearing what I'm saying then
I want to hear you say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)
Say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

[Bridge]
That's right, ladies and gentleman!
Pick up the phone
Cause Bowling For Soup is on the line!
And you don't have to be sad anymore!
You don't have to be mad anymore!
We can all join hands and do ring around
The freaking rosie
Records when you're sad these days
It's super cool to be mad these days
I think rock and roll is really funny
When it's serious

[Outro]
La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la
La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la
La-la-la, la la-la-la, la la-la
La la la la
La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la la
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick, Erik Chandler, Chris Burney]
Give yourselves a hand for that one, that was good!
That was good stuff right there, that... man, that was good singing and la-laing and arm waving
You guys are really good arm wavers, why does Manchester rock so hard?
What's the deal with that, man? I'm serious, you guys are always the first show to sell out, you're the freaking loudest crowd in the United Kingdom
That's from all that yelling at the football matches
You're all very, very attractive
You all wanna give me a foot rub after the show
Anything else we need? They're very agreeable
I'd like to, after the show, this is a little weird, but after the show, all you ladies, I'd like pictures of your feet! Pictures of your feet, yes
I don't think that's weird at all
No, I've got a new website, wanna put em up there
Okay, sweet
There's also manchestersfeet.com
You heard it here first, that was an advertisement for Chris' new somewhat really just kinda weird website
It's a weird deal, I know
I'm into it though, I'm down, I like feet, I like feet unless they stink, or unless they're on a boy
Yeah, guy feet aren't-
Or unless they have a, uh, ingrown toenail
What about if they have a lot of hair on there, like a hobbit's foot?
That guy right there has hairy feet
Hobbit feet, right there
Congratulations
