This song came out just before the institution of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, when the subject of gay people in the military was being hotly debated.
The song mocks people who don’t want gay men in the military, and makes fun of them for doing dangerous things and then being scared of gay men serving wit...
[Verse 1]
From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
I have fought my country's battles
I have faced every enemy
[Verse 2]
I ain't scared of no Iraqi missiles
I ain't scared of no Russian tanks
If I'm captured and tortured all they'll get
Is my serial number name and rank
[Verse 3]
You know I'd storm Baghdad to kick Saddam's butt
Swim to Havana, bring home Castro's beard
For my buddies throw my body on a live grenade
I guess I just don't know the meaning of fear
[Chorus]
But please
Please
Please please please please please
Don't make me shower with a fairy
Not a fairy—fairies scare me
'Cause a fairy might look at my weewee
My weewee—it's so teeny
