SOTD #23
Today’s song is Drag Queen Blues by Richard Digance
My friend George is a drag queen called Nancy
Pray tell me which are you tonight?
If you’re George let’s have a game of snooker,
If you’re Nancy let’s turn out the light.
For George is a foreman in a coal mine
But changes when the hooter goes at five
From a snooker playing friend of yours truly
To a man I would like to make my wife
A bit of a light-hearted SOTD today, just because I’m feeling happy and want to spread some sunshine around. Richard Digance is one of the UK’s great comic songwriters, but is also known for his folk background. This song is like a link between the two - a bittersweet lament to a lover, but with comic overtones. Absolutely lovely song.
