[Verse 1]
He thinks he's Oscar Wilde, but he's Paul Lynde
Can't say anything good about anything
He flips his cigarette with disdain
You've failed to live up to his standards again
He's a negative queen, he's a negative queen

[Verse 2]
He reads all the latest magazines
He's quick to follow, but thinks he's in the lead
He was there and you weren't
You're out of it, you're not current
He's a negative queen, he's a negative queen

[Bridge]
He drips disdain, he's lacking tact
He's popular in a scene
Where being nice is a radical act

[Verse 3]
Everything's got to be just so
If it's not, he'll let you know
Don't put up posters on Castro Street
He'll rip them down so he shop in peace
He's a negative queen, he's a negative queen
[Bridge]
He struts into a bar with swagger
Stumbles out later with a stagger
Spent half his life in a bar
Now he looks so haggard
No sympathy for a braggart

[Verse 5]
Everything's got to be just so
If it's not, he'll let you know
Darling, you simply haven't lived
Unless you've lived like him
He's a negative queen, he's a negative queen
He's a negative queen, he's a negative queen
