Ballad of the Queen Berets Lyrics Capitol Steps

“Major:
Good evening, maggots. As you may be aware, a federal judge has recently overturned the Don’t Ask, don’t Tell policy, potentially paving the way for gays to serve openly in the military. So I am here tonight to remind some of you good old boys that discrimination against gay soldiers will no longer be tolerated! Because we in the military have always believed in protecting our privates. First recruit, fall in!”

“Soldier 1:
Fighting in, Afghanistan
Fearless men, all buff and tan
They could kick, your butt today”

“Soldier 2: We’re the men, of the queen Beret”

“Soldier 1:
Brave young men, now in our ranks
Decorate and paint their tanks”

“Soldier 2:
Join the Navy, there’s no way
Can’t wear white, past Labor Day”

“Soldier 1:
Women now have heard the news
New recruits, get sensible shoes
Lesbians, with guns, take aim”

“Soldier 3: Melissa Etheridge is our name”

“Soldiers: From Iraq to Kyber Pass
Soldier 2: You can bet, I’ll watch your ass
Soldiers: The enemy now runs away
Soldier 2: Our battle cry’s YMCA
Soldiers: We are fierce in battle too
Soldier 3: Just like Rosie on The View
Soldiers: For a slogan, we will say
Solider 2: We’re behind you all the way”

“Soldiers:
Men and women around the globe
Battling not just homophobes
Fight and die for the USA”

“Soldier 1: Where they can’t wed”

“Soldiers:
Just because we’re gay
Jazz hands!”
