about

From the musical comedy, The Ref. In this song two gay men who are surprisingly voting NO in the Equal marriage referendum in Ireland, explain why.

lyrics

Buggeroo, Buggeray



SEAMIE We just wish that all the gays out there
Would be like normal folk
KEVIN Instead of wearing women’s clothes
Or acting like a joke
SEAMIE Why do they find it necessary
To march and scream and shout
KEVIN We really couldn’t give a fuck
If you are or are not OUT
SEAMIE We think that all those little tots
KEVIN Need a Mammy and a Dad
KEVIN Would You really want an Elton John?
SEAMIE Or Jolie, A plus Brad?

BOTH Buggeroo, Buggeray
We are Self Loathing Gays
Our dream is to be nice and straight
We don’t deserve all that marital bliss
So we’re spreading just a little hate
Buggeroo, Buggeray
We are Self Loathing Gays
The family should be saved from us
We’re not fit for those wedding vows
Get us off of that Equality Bus


KEVIN Civil Partnership is quite enough
Our morals are on the slide
SEAMIE Are these the things we want for our kids?
Panti, GCN, and Pride?
KEVIN Synthetic children made by syringe
Is that what we really crave?
SEAMIE A child should come from a cock in a minge
Not foreign surrogate slaves!
KEVIN Two Dads, Two mums makes us want to throw up
SEAMIE Not what the bible says
KEVIN Stone us, burn us, tie us in knots
SEAMIE All hail self loathing gays



BOTH Buggeroo Buggeray
We are Self Loathing Gays
Our dream is to be nice and straight
We don’t deserve all that marital bliss
So we’re spreading just a little hate
Buggeroo, Buggeray
We are Self Loathing Gays
The family should be saved from us
We’re not fit for those wedding vows
Buggeroo Bugger Buggeray


SEAMIE We don’t want our rights
KEVIN And think we’re shite
SEAMIE And that marriage is not for gays
KEVIN And for this we’ll fight
SEAMIE With the Church’s might
BOTH ’Til we’ve won it for the Nays!


BOTH Buggeroo, Buggeray
We are Self Loathing Gays
Our dream is to be nice and straight
We don’t deserve all that marital bliss
So we’re spreading just a little hate
Buggeroo, Buggeray
We are Self Loathing Gays
The family should be saved from us
We’re not fit for wedding vows
Buggeroo Bugger Buggeray
