The Lyrics

How can Cy be Shirl?
Into girl he wants to be changing.
How can Cy be Shirl,
not a standup dude?

Whenever Cy,
whenever Cy changed his attitude,
he was a guy
who would often attain altitude.

His stance changed, though—
knew that he wanted a coochie…
craved a pussy, not a poochie…
exchange his mount for a mound.

So then went Cy,
so then went Cy went to see a crew
that took a knife and carved his joint into a deepened slough.
Cy was no more hanging way down.
Lost his head, nuts—about a pound.
Now he’s slitty…
holster instead of a gun.
He’ll be pretty when makeup ensues.
And does he want to go back. Never!
Nearly healed is his new mound.

Now that Cy is Shirl,
he’s really glad he’s no longer a beau;
it really happened—now no schlong will show.

Got a feather
boa and it goes together
with his sleek new cashmere sweater.
Boa, not bone, dangles down.

Now that Cy is Shirl,
his pronoun has got to be changing.
Objective is “her”;
“she,” nominative, new.

As I just commented to a onetime Depression Era child actress, .. "Shirley, what this website needs right now is a return of some of the old timers"
