The Lyrics
Crossdresser man, crossdresser man
Wearing the clothes a crossdresser can
Boxers or brief it's irrelevant
Crossdresser man
Will he wear heels, or go out in flats?
With bras filled with water, flamboyant hats?
Goes to the salon to sit and chat
Wears pantyhose, crossdresser man
Leisure suit man, leisure suit man
Shirt-like jacket, matching stretchy pants
Fashion contest, he never wins
Leisure suit man
Uniform man, uniform man
Girls are all over a unifomed man
Usually helping fellow man
Uniformed man
Sometimes he could be an army man
National guard man or a navy man
Air force, police or fireman
He's got a plan, uniform man
Preppy man, preppy man
Khakis, a belt, with the shirt tucked in
Collared shirt hides the farmer's tan
Preppy man
Looks like a geek, but never a mess
By his mom this man is still dressed
Goth man beats up preppy man?
Strange-looking man, preppy man
Color-blind man, color-blind man
Matches green shirts with orange pants
Thinks he wears red, that's why he's blue
Color-blind man
Wearing the clothes a crossdresser can
Boxers or brief it's irrelevant
Crossdresser man
Will he wear heels, or go out in flats?
With bras filled with water, flamboyant hats?
Goes to the salon to sit and chat
Wears pantyhose, crossdresser man
Leisure suit man, leisure suit man
Shirt-like jacket, matching stretchy pants
Fashion contest, he never wins
Leisure suit man
Uniform man, uniform man
Girls are all over a unifomed man
Usually helping fellow man
Uniformed man
Sometimes he could be an army man
National guard man or a navy man
Air force, police or fireman
He's got a plan, uniform man
Preppy man, preppy man
Khakis, a belt, with the shirt tucked in
Collared shirt hides the farmer's tan
Preppy man
Looks like a geek, but never a mess
By his mom this man is still dressed
Goth man beats up preppy man?
Strange-looking man, preppy man
Color-blind man, color-blind man
Matches green shirts with orange pants
Thinks he wears red, that's why he's blue
Color-blind man

Never can escape from the almighty puns of Jeff Reuben... "That's why he's blue", lol.
Thanks Matthias...had to get one in there :)
(Dec2) That's funny, man, real funny man!
One of TMBG's silliest songs (and that's saying something!)...but you did a fine job injecting some sense and humour into the mix. 555
Well, I can't say that was expected---at all--king of the puns Jeff Reuben
Well, orange you just proud of yourself today? You better "wash" it, you've "braised" the bar! DKTOS, but I really enjoyed the lyrics. Well-done.
Great parody of a great OS... 5-5-5
Probably the best idea in the entire contest for fashion so far. I came up with this same idea, but couldn't bring it anywhere. Very funny, and a classic Jeff Reuben parody. Although "National Guard Man" doesn't pace with "Minute Hand".
Thanks...Matthias, the National Guard Man line paces with this line in the OS: Millenium hand and an eon hand. Minute hand is in the previous line (pacing with Army man)
Ah... My bad. In that case.... Perfect!!
(DEC 2.7) See above. Transvestastic!
Decathlon...I think you've covered all your bases with this one Jeff...and I'll agree with the bit about loving a man in uniform! =)
Excellent, Jeff.
(dec2.7) I laughed out loud at this one - I just love the idea, and the wackiness of the OS helps, and then the youtube video helps further because I could see the cartoon done on your words Jeff and it would grow even another leg (try to put a uniform on that!) - big score here - 555
(Dec2) Absolutely hilarious, I hope you find a way to record it, I loved it.
Oh, I " have a plan for the uniform man" . . . 555 for all the stately ways a brave Knight can dress!
I.LOVE.IT! The Original and the Parody!
