[RAM'S DAD] You wait just a minute, Paul! It is ignorant, hateful talk like yours that makes this world a place our boys could not live in! They were NOT dirty! They were NOT wrong! They were two lonely verses In the Lord's great song! [KURT'S DAD] Our boys were pansies, Bill! [RAM'S DAD] YES! My boy's a h*mos**ual And that don't scare me none -- I want the world to know... I LOVE my dead gay son! I've been thinking. Praying Reading some magazines. And it's time we opened our eyes Well, the good Lord made the universe The Lord created man And I believe it's all a part of his gigantic plan I know God has a reason For each mountain and each flower, and why he chose to let our boys get busy in the shower! They were not dirty -- They were not fruits! They were just two stray laces in the Lord's big boots Well, I never cared for h*mos much until I reared me one, but... [RAM'S DAD & CONGREGATION] Now I've learned to love… [RAM'S DAD] I love my dead gay son! [CONGREGATION] He loves his son He loves his son His dead gay son! [RAM'S DAD] Now, I say my boy's in heaven! And he's tanning by the pool The cherubim walk with him and him, and Jesus says it's cool! They don't have crime or hatred, there's no bigotry or cursin' - Just friendly fellows dressed up like their fav'rite Village Person! They were not dirty -- [CONGREGATION] No, no! [RAM'S DAD] They just had flair! [CONGREGATION] Whoa! [RAM'S DAD] They were two bright red ribbons in the Lord's long hair Well, I used to see a h*mo and go reachin' for my gun, but… [RAM'S DAD & CONGREGATION] Now I've learned to love… [RAM'S DAD]
And FURTHERMORE! -- THESE BOYS were brave as hell! THESE BOYS, they knew damn well! THOSE FOLKS would judge 'em, they were desperate to be free! They took a rebel stance, stripped to their underpants! Paul, I can't believe that you still refuse to get a clue, after all that we been through -- I'm talkin' you and me! In the summer of '83! [KURT'S DAD] That.... was one hell of a fishing trip [CONGREGATION] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa! They were NOT dirty - Whoa! And not perverse - No, no! They were just two stray rhinestones On the Lord's big purse! [BOTH DADS] Our job is now continuing the work that they begun! [CONGREGATION] Cause now we love, love, love! We love your dead -- [RAM'S DAD] They're up there disco dancing to the thump of angel wings! [KURT'S DAD] They grab a mate… [RAM'S DAD] And roller skate - [BOTH DADS] While Judy Garland sings! [RAM'S DAD] They live a playful afterlife that's fancy-free and reckless! [KURT'S DAD] They swing upon the pearly gates -- [BOTH DADS & CONGREGATION] And wear a pearly necklace! [CONGREGATION] Whoo! [BOTH DADS] They were not dirty! [CONGREGATION] No! [BOTH DADS & CONGREGATION] They were good men! And now they're happy bear cubs in the Lord's big den! [BOTH DADS] Go forth and love each other now, like our boys would have done [ALL] We'll teach the world to love... [BOTH DADS overlapping with congregation] I love my dead gay son! My son! My son! [CONGREGATION] Not half bad, your dead gay son! Wish I had your dead gay son! Thank you, dad, for your... [BOTH DADS & CONGREGATION] Dead! Gay! Son!
