“Transwoman In NoHo"
(Sung to the tune of Sting’s “Englishman in New York”. NoHo is local slang for Northampton, Massachusetts, lesbian capital of the USA.)
I take estrogen, not T my dear
I tie my skirt up on one side
And you can hear it in my voice tone, don’t you know
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
See me walking down Masonic Street
Cross-body purse here at my side
I take it everywhere I go
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
If "estrogen makes women" as somebody said
Then she's the hero of the day
It takes a woman to face ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
It takes more than stylish clothes to make a girl
Takes more than wanting to have fun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A trans girl will walk but never run
If "estrogen makes women" as somebody said
Then she's the hero of the day
It takes a woman to face ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say...
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a trans woman in NoHo
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
I’m a lesbian, I’m a legal lesbian
I’m a transwoman in NoHo
