The Lyrics

Roberta Cowell, (May 21, 1921), was the first known British male-to-female transsexual to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Born Robert Cowell, she was a Spitfire pilot in World War II and a racing driver after the war. She had a vaginoplasty on May 15, 1951, via a surgical method invented and performed by Dr. Harold Gillies. This occurred two years before Christine Jorgensen's surgery in Denmark. See links below...
Britain’s first transsexual
radical at time

Robert Cowell raced cars and flew too
Female side hidin’
Male side tryin’

His gender, he couldn’t stand it
Always bein’ put down
Got sex reassignment surgery
First Man-made Man around

Britain’s first transsexual
radical at time
Embraced feminine side

They loved you
They loved you
They loved you
They loved you anyhow
And (s)he didn’t care
Underwent vaginoplasty
Became ROBERTA Cowell

She was free
Britain’s first transsexual
radical at time
(discarded masculinity)

I think I will change these three 4's into three 5's, how's that sound? ;-) Great work! and what happened to "They Put Me in a Zoo (Part 3)" I don't see it in the list?

WCJ, I don't know... 4 of my songs are missing (perhaps b/c they were submitted early in the morning of 5/31 and Chuck didn't get these up until late)... perhaps it will show up today...

Please note that Robert Cowell was shot-down in his Spitfire over the Ruhr in 1944 and was a POW in Stalag Luft 1 until liberated by the Soviets in May 1945... I have his/her book. Great read about a complex issue.
