A pity she does not exist
A shame he's not a fag
The only girl I ever loved was
Andrew in drag
There is no hope of love for me
From here on I'm a stag
The only girl I'll ever love is
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
I don't know why I even went
It's really not my bag
Just thought it might be funny to see
Andrew in drag
The moment he walked on the stage
My tail began to wag
Wag like a little wiener dog for
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
I've always been a ladies' man
And I don't have to brag
But I become a momma's boy for
Andrew in drag
I'd sign away my trust fund
I would even sell the Jag
If I could spend my misspent youth with
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
So stick him in a dress and
He's the only boy I'd shag
The only boy I'd anything is
Andrew in drag
I'll never see that girl again
He did it as a gag
I'll pine away forevermore for
Andrew in drag
A shame he's not a fag
The only girl I ever loved was
Andrew in drag
There is no hope of love for me
From here on I'm a stag
The only girl I'll ever love is
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
I don't know why I even went
It's really not my bag
Just thought it might be funny to see
Andrew in drag
The moment he walked on the stage
My tail began to wag
Wag like a little wiener dog for
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
I've always been a ladies' man
And I don't have to brag
But I become a momma's boy for
Andrew in drag
I'd sign away my trust fund
I would even sell the Jag
If I could spend my misspent youth with
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
So stick him in a dress and
He's the only boy I'd shag
The only boy I'd anything is

I'll never see that girl again
He did it as a gag
I'll pine away forevermore for
Andrew in drag

To take this song literally, it's a song about him watching a show with a drag queen, and ends up pining after 'her' forever more. As Stephin Merritt is gay, maybe it's written from a straight man's perspective, 'I've always been a ladies man' etc.
There a lot of other subtleties in this song, though. Notice the speaker talks about giving away his "trust fund" and "sign away the jag."<br /> <br /> It's clearly a young man's song, and so it reminds me of a student production at (for example) Yale, before there were women, and men had to dress up to play the part of the women. It all seems very 1960's Ivy League hush-hush queer.<br /> <br /> Great song.
I really like that interpretation. The confused feelings of a young 1960s Yale hotshot. Excellent imagery.
