[Verse 1]We warned youWe told youAt the end of 1985Homosexuality is just around the cornerWe are looking at the prospect ofBars for gays, and gay tourists tooComing for a quick one, or a thick oneFrom you, and you, and you[Chorus]So, it’s your duty to make a standIt’s your duty to get in behindIt’s your duty to testifyAnd make this appalling act endSo look to your neighboursYour righteous neighboursThey’re fully erect and ready nowTo end this act[Verse 2]It’ll be worse than nuclear destructionWhere at least y’know you’re friedBut this is insidious, slow penetrationThat turns and roasts you on your sideAnd of course, there’ll be gay marriageAnd of course, there’ll be gay adoptionsGays living their lives openlyIn a naturally unnatural way[Chorus]So it’s your duty to make a standIt’s your duty to get in behindIt’s your duty to testifyAnd make this appalling act endSo look to your neighboursYour righteous neighboursThey’re fully erect and ready nowTo end this act[Verse 3]After all the noise we’ve madevAfter all those lurid warningsWe’re still standing strongKeeping God’s golden lineAnd we’re praying for a golden showerTo wash this filth awayPraying for a golden showerThat’s what we pray[Bridge]It’s the thin edge of the wedgeIt’s a crack in our moralityIt’s tickling our curiosityAnd we must hammer it awaySo, it’s time to tap that AdamIt’s time to tap that SteveTap their heads one by oneThat’s what we carpenters can achieve[Chorus]So it’s your duty to make a standIt’s your duty to get in behindIt’s your duty to testifyAnd make this appalling act endSo, look to your neighboursYour righteous neighboursThey’re fully erect and ready nowTo end this act[Big Outro]This act must endRight hereRight nowThis act must endThis act must endRight hereRight nowThis act must endAah men. |
