The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.

Has anybody here seen a chick called Dick 
He looks real burly but, he's really hip 
He's six feet tall and his arms are all brown and hairy 

Well, he married Betty Lou back in '65 
When you had to be butch to survive 
But lately he's been looking at his wife with mixed emotions 
You see, he's not a common place closet queen 
He shouldn't be hidden, he should be seen 
Cause when he puts on that dress 
He looks like a princess 

The day he came out of the wardrobe 
Betty Lou got quite a surprise 
She didn't know whether she should get angry or not bat an eye 
She really couldn't call up her mother 
Mama would positively die 
Should she go or stay or should she try to get a trial separation 

You see, he's not a faggot as you might suppose 
He just feels restricted in conventional clothes 
Cause when he puts on that dress 
He feels like a princess 

He's not a dandy, he's only living out a fantasy 
He's not a pansy, he's only being what he wants to be 
Now his life is rearranged and he's grateful for the change 
He's out of the wardrobe and he's got no regrets 

Betty Lou didn't know what to do at first 
But she's learning how to cope at last 
She's got the best of both worlds 
And she's really in a state of elation 
She says it helps their relationship 
She says a change is as good as a rest 
And their friends finally coming 'round to their way of thinking 
She wears the trousers and smokes the pipe 
And he washes up 
She helps him wipe 
Cause when he puts on that dress 
He looks like a princess 

He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling alright 
He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling satisfied 
Now it's farewell to the past 
The secret's out at last 
He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets
