half a man - randy newman lyrics

Loading...

this big old queen was standing
on the corner of the street
he waved his hanky at me
as i went rolling by
i pulled the truck up on the sidewalk
and i climbed down from the cab
with my tire-chain and my knife

as i approached him
he was trembling like a bird
i raised the chain above my head
he said, “please, before you kill me
might i have one final word?”
and this is what he said:
“i am but half a man, half a man
i’d like to be a dancer
but i’m much too large
half a man, half a man
i’m an object for your pity
not your rage”

oh, the strangest feeling’s sweeping over me
both my speech and manner have become much more refined
i said, “oh, what is this feeling?
what is wrong with me?”
she said, “girl, it happens all the time

“now you are half a man, half a man
look, you’re walking and you’re talking
like a f-g.”
half a man, i am half a man
holy jesus, what a drag
