    C       Em         Am7          C/G    
Has anybody here seen a chick called Dick?  

   F          Am7            D           
He looks real burly but he's really hip. 

     G                                            C    Csus  C   Csus  
He's six feet tall and his arms are all brown and hairy. 

   C             Em            Am7       
He married Betty Lou back in sixty-five,  

C/G       F         Am7         D    
 When you had to be butch to survive 

    G                                                C   Csus   C  Csus      
But lately he's been looking at his wife with mixed emotions. 

         Am7                     D7             
You see, he's not a common place closet queen.  

   Am7                               G               
He shouldn't be hidden, he should be seen. 

 

              F    Am7     D7              G          C     
'Cos when he puts on that dress, he looks like a princess. 





    C           Em        Am7       C/G 
The day he came out of the wardrobe,     

      F       Am7        D      
Betty Lou got quite a surprise. 

           G                                               C   Csus  C  Csus 
She didn't know whether she should get angry or not bat an eye. 

    C               Em            Am7 C/G 
She really couldn't call up her mama;     

  F           Am7     D    
Mama would positively die. 

           G                                               C    Csus   C  Csus   
Should she go or stay or should she try to get a trial separation? 

         Am7                      D              
You see, he's not a faggot as you might suppose. 

        Am7                    G                  
He just feels restricted in conventional clothes. 


             F    Am7     D7              G          C     
'Cos when he puts on that dress, he feels like a princess. 



Bridge 

C          G                             C         
He's not a dandy, he's only living out a fantasy.  

C          G                              C            
He's not a pansy, he's only being what he wants to be. 

        F           D7       
Now his life is rearranged,  

         C        Em7     Am7     C/G

He's out of the wardrobe, and now he's got no regrets. 



      C          Em          Am7   C/G     
Betty Lou didn't know what to do at first,  

          F           Am7     D     
But she's learning to cope at last.

She's got the best of both worlds, and she's really in a state of elation. 

    C       Em           Am7         C/G 
She says it helps their relationship.     

           F            Am7       D     
She says a change is as good as a rest.

And their friends finally coming 'round to their way of thinking. 

Am7                        D7                
She wears the trousers and smokes the pipe.  

    Am7           G                   
And he washes up; she helps him wipe. 


             F    Am7     D7              G          C     
'Cos when he puts on that dress, he looks like a princess.
