IT'S OK TO BE GAY IN THE SCA - lyrics and music by Nathan McCartney

Well to all the mundanes passing by
And to all the first timers at events
Please listen to my song
It won't take very long
There's a subject I really must address
You see...

Chorus
It's OK to be gay in the SCA
Yes, it's OK to be gay in the SCA
So put a blue feather in your hat
And crawl up in your lover's lap
It's OK to be gay in the SCA

Well you might be watching belly dancers
And thinking you'd like to be there with them as they sway
But once their dancing's through
They're gonna sway with each other, not you
'Cause...

Well you might meet a handsome young squire
And if you ask him to dance, he'll probably lead the way
But once his knight appears
He may take up the rear

Well you might be walking merchants' row
And see a shop with a beautiful display
The owner may look glamorous
And say, "Isn't it FABULOUS?!"

Well the wench who's slaving in the kitchen
Dreams of a lord to take her far away
Or even a maiden some day
'Cause she goes either way

And it's just fine to be bi in the SCA
Yes, it's just fine to be bi in the SCA
Well straight, gay, bi or queer
Just know that you're welcome here
It's OK to be gay in the SCA
So put a blue feather in your hat
And crawl up in your lover's lap
It's OK to be gay in the SCA

Well if you see the royalty up ahead
Don't forget to bow when they come your way
But I hope her majesty
Knows she's not the only queen

Well you might be sitting around the campfire
Laughing it up at the end of a wonderful day
But once the flames die down
There'll still be flaming all around
