Running Amuck - If Gays Could Get Married

Meet the Running Amuck boys, Gregory, Nate and Scottie (that's us!). Greggo's the be-vested one with hair twice the size of his head, Scottie's the one in the middle with the goldfish shirt and the somewhat vacant expresion on his face, and Nate's the beautifully bitter one in stripes. We had a few ideas about gay marriage we felt compelled to sing about. Thus we crashed open mic night and sprang this little ditty (I hate that word) on an unsuspecting audience at the Duplex on Christopher Street in the magical city of New York! Gerry Dieffenbach at the piano. Thanks to SMZ for recording!!

LYRICS

NATE
If gays could get married
we'd live in a house
as equal as equal can be...

SCOTTIE
We'd write a long letter
and thank the White House
my gay friends, my straight friends,
my boyfriend, and me...
If gays could get married

GREGGO
If gays could get married I'd jump in the air
and give all my tap shoes to you,
get certain Republicans out of my hair
and once and for all get
Ann(e?) Coulter out too!
If gays could get married!

SCOTTIE
Obama, please talk to the press...

NATE
They'll listen to you...

GREGGO
You've got such finesse!

ALL 3
Obama, God speed and God bless,
and praise be to Ellen Degeneres!
Obama say yes, indorse a gay wedding today!

SCOTTIE
I'll love and adore you!

GREGGO
I'll even vote for you!

NATE
And I'll let you toss my bouquet!

ALL 3
Obama, please make marriage gay!

GREGGO
If gays could get married
they couldn't say
"Sorry, you can't see your 'Life Partner'
in the ICU..."

("Family members only!")

SCOTTIE
"Cant adopt a child!"

NATE
"No joint taxes filed!"

(Shut up Rush Limbaugh!

SCOTTIE
Smile second-class, less-than-we-are,
seperate-but-equal citizen!)

GREGGO
Obama, we aren't insane...

SCOTTIE
We just want what's right...

NATE
The old ball and chain!

ALL 3
Obama, you're not John McCaine
So please be the man
to head our campaign!
Please jump on our train
and help gays get married to stay

GREGGO
'Cause gays can't get married...

SCOTTIE
What?

NATE
Married...

SCOTTIE
What??

GREGGO/NATE
MARRIED!

ALL 3
And Jersey is so far away
Obama!
Obama!
Obama!
(Greggo goes completely flat!)
Please make marriage GAY!!

ENCORE!! ENCORE!! ENCORE!!!

gloriously effortless entertainment of the highest order -- and by default, on the order of HRH Barack Obama: "my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."

and i say, "oh! go down Moses . . .and tell King Pharaoh to let my people go." LET MY PEOPLE GO!!
