Johnny are you Queer

"Johnny are you Queer" is the 10th track from SPARKLE like you mean it: ROBEE'S BALLAD by Robee Sonee and the Tomgirls. It is a cover of the song "Johnny, Are You Queer?" by Josie Cotton.

The cover is close to the original song, yet Chris seems to be uncomfortable singing it (opting to speak-sing the song completely unlike the original, ala Ke$ha), particularly with the terms "queer" (he drastically changes his tone) and "gay" (which he isn't able to bring himself to say at all, letting the actual lyrics fill in.)

Since the album is tomgirl-themed, some say the line, "You lost your inheritance," could be a reference to Bob's disapproval for Chris's cross-dressing.

Lyrics
Johnny, what's the deal, boy?

Is your love for real, boy?

When the lights are low

you never hold her close

Now, I saw you today, boy

Walking with them (skipped: gay) boys

Now you hurt me so - now I gotta know

Johnny? Are you queer?

-sigh-

When I see you

dancing with your friends

SHE CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER

-pause- where she stands

I'm so 'fraid I'll lose you

if she can't see-duce you

Is there something wrong, Johnny, c'mon... strong

Wha - why are you so weird, boy

Johnny, are you QUEER boy?

When she makes a play

you pusherd her away

'Cause when uh... you... umf...

'Cause when I see you

dancing wi' her friends

She's worrying and wondering

Where she stands

Johnny, you've forsaken

A love you could be taking

She wants to give it to you, boy,

but you never come through!

Why are you s-so weird boy,

Johnny, are you qwheer boi

When you asked for a date

She thought you where straight, but, Johnny, what the hell? Are you queer?

-goes into a monologue at this point-

Johnny, are you queer, man?!

Ah-ah-I mean I gotta know, you tell me.

What the hell, are you queer?

Uh-ugh I mean I gotta tell 'ya, if you are, boy, then you're just bothering me. And her.

I gotta leave you man, you lost your inheritance.

I'm out.
