It's Saturday night and I'm dressed to go to dinner
he comes to the door with some flowers and some wine
He's cooking it himself - so we decide to light a fire
when I ask his choice in music he replies the choice is mine
My selection is seductive, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee
We dance to something smooth by Sammy Kaye
We dine, we laugh, we drink a toast to life and, yes, to love
His love for Danny Clark and mine for...

I like the pretty boys...and they like each other
they like me alright, like a duck likes its' mother
they tell me their secrets - one friend to another
oh I like the pretty boys and they like each other

their shirts match their pants
their hair smells like herbs
their parents are clueless somewhere in the burbs
their biceps are big
their bellies are taut
their buns are rock candy - I like em a lot!
but then so does Dirk.
and Dave
And Dan
And Darryl
And Dewayne

I like the pretty boys and they like each other
They like me alright - I am just not their druther!
They kiss me and hug me - one friend to another
Oh I like the pretty boys and they like each other!

I'm afraid that it's hard when they pull me aside
to whisper real soft in my ear
"Look - over there - in the bicycle shorts
what do you think of his rear?"

BIG SIGH

YES I like the pretty boys and they like each other
They like me alright - like a duck likes its' mother!
Until cotton candy cures the common cold - one friend to another
I will like the pretty boys...and they will like each other...
