Drôlene, Drôlene, the queen of the scene
Her dips, her spins, the best ever seen
Although she is little, her bosom is grand,
Jump up ye queers and give her a hand.
Tuck up your pecker, pull off your pants
And join in the joyous genderfuck dance
The Minx, the Minx, all feathers and winks,
A burlesque a fest of sexy slinks
He’s Montreal’s glamour-puss-tart
His strip, his tease, a sensual art
Stick on some pasties, we’ll give them a glance
And join in the joyous genderfuck dance
‘S é’n trua nach mise, nach mise
‘S é’n trua nach mise Banríon Ait.
‘S é’n trua nach mise, nach mise
‘S é’n trua nach mise Rí Aerach
‘S é’n trua nach mise, nach mise
‘S é’n trua nach mise Ní Álainn.
Tis truly a pity, a pity that we’re not all Drag Queens
Tis truly a pity, a pity that we’re not all Drag Kings
Tis truly a pity, a pity that we’re not all Drag Things
Deville, Deville the king of the castle,
He’ll provide real razzle dazzle
Or, if you care to bend the knee,
And worship the almighty Hercusleaze.
Pack on a pecker, pull up your pants
And join in the joyous genderfuck dance
Denim, Denim from Epekwitk
Talent she has that just won’t quit
The looks she turns always surprise
A delight, a feast for all our eyes
Throw on a perruque at every chance
And join in the joyous genderfuck dance
Who’s that there a ticklin’ your funny bone?
Who’s that there a ticklin’ your funny bone?
Who’s that there a ticklin’ your funny bone?
Only me says Uma!
Uma, Uma, come over here to me
Uma, Uma, really you’re dear to me
Uma, Uma, queer as you care to be
Only one named Uma
Drôlene, Drôlene, where is your nest?
It is in Bar Cocktail we love best
In the backroom’s where we’ll be,
Come all ye queers and follow me.
Tuck up your pecker, pull off your pants
And join in the joyous genderfuck dance

Depth Charge: At the THROW Poetry Slam on May 4th, I performed this poem, which is inspired by all the Drag Queens, Drag Kings and Drag Things of Montreal. It riffs on three traditional Irish Songs: An Dreoilín, Bean Pháidin and Cunlá.
