Rainbow 03:07
Blue is not just for people with willies Pink is not just for people with flaps Purple is not just for people who don't get much sexual action Paisley is not just for that psychedelically inclined hippy person We can all enjoy the rainbow with out being a homo A guy can embrace the entire spectrum without taking it in his rectum... but if he does - I still respect him To the mothers and fathers of the world If you have a precious little girl Let her express the way she choses It might mean she likes blue There's nothing that makes me more annoyed Than people who steer their little boys Away from the sparkles and tutus We can all enjoy the rainbow without being a homo A girl can enjoy a colour of any tinge Without loving the minge Or shaving a patch out of her fringe But if she does I'm not going to whinge Oh no! Oh no Bruce - get Jayden away Get him away from those pink balloons They're turning him gay! Oh no! Sally wants to play with GI Joe Better watch out or she might become a big lesbo We can all enjoy the rainbow without being a homo If girls can have pink and boys can have blue Then what is An intersex person who's making a transition from male to female and doesn't identify with either gender or particularly care for what we like to call gender neutral colours like yellow and green gonna do? So, blue is not just for people with willies Pink is not just for people with flaps

Housemates 03:19
Why do I always get stuck with crazy housemates? I don't get it, am I a crazy housemate magnet? They seem so normal at the beginning it seems great But the next minute they are talking to the TV cabinet I used to think I was a good judge of character But now I realise that my perceptions may be blurred Maybe the world is trying to teach me with some kind of karma Or maybe deep down I'm just addicted to the drama I can't handle one more person trying to finger paint on the carpet on their knees I can't handle one more person knocking on my door crying cos they found their keys No I won't hide your valium No I don't have no weed No I won't listen to your little tantrum No I don't have no speed Why do I always attract the crazy housemates? All I ask is that my home is a relaxed space I'm not responsible for organising rehab Or cleaning up the mess from incidents that you've had I think it's probable that you should be on medication The fact that you are not is making me very impatient I wanna be able to sit and relax in the loungeroom Instead of sitting hiding writing little songs about you I can't handle one more person stealing all of my clothes and pretending that they bought them I can't handle one more conversation about kinky sexual practices like places you've inserted things No I won't count your calories No I won't buy your food No I won't try your herbal remedies No I won't dump your boyfriend for you I'm sick of having all these fucking crazy housemates I'm telling you that I would trade them with you any day I wanna get home and be greeted with a smile And not be greeted by someone who's suicidal Hiding in my bedroom used to be the only escape But it's getting really smelly in here And there's a build up of tea cups that need to be cleared away Can't you see, can't you understand why I'm feeling this wa I guess it's hard to think of other people Through your drunken haze Why do I always get stuck with crazy housemates? I don't get it, am I a crazy housemate magnet? They seem so normal at the beginning it seems great But the next minute they are talking to the TV cabinet Having a conversation with the TV cabinet yeah Thats All.

Unicorn 03:40
Oh I've seen things others have not seen And been places no one else has been Ventured through the sky into the dawn Because I am a unicorn I am a unicorn I am a unicorn Hoofs of silver, mane of gold no one would guess I'm a thousand years old Oh the wind rustles through my nostrils I can smell time My body so muscular from prancing through the clouds Over the moon beams I whinny out loud My eyes they glisten with the innocence of youth And my horn My horn is magic too I am a unicorn I am a unicorn

Bowlcuts 03:56
The greatest thing in life is the freedom to express yourself That's what I truly believe But it grieves me to say that it can't always be this way When you express yourself like me Oh there's one thing in this world that can bring me such joy It can cure all my sadness and fill up my soul And all I really need is a willing girl or boy And a little pair of scissors and a big mixing bowl All I wanna do is give people bowl cuts Seriously, is that too much to ask? All I wanna do is give people bowl cuts Make them so beautiful And accepted in society Imagine a thick healthy crop of straight follicles Carefully sculpted using a bowl as a template Is there really anything in this life that's more magical? Feel the breath of the wind on your neck, it's so wonderful I don't understand why there's no line around my block For my sweet subtle fingers to dishevel your locks Just let me at your cranium, I'll show you what I'm made of and The bowlcut will forever be the hairdo that you'll rock All I wanna do is give people bowl cuts Seriously, is that too much to ask? All I wanna do is give people bowl cuts Make them so beautiful And fit in with all the cool kids at school Clearly I can't give one to myself Cos my beauty would be overwhelming And your heads would explode And tell me how am I supposed to give you ultimate beauty When you're heads have all exploded Oh. The bowlcut is the way of the future The bowlcut is a symbol of peace The bowlcut will bring enemies together It knows no religion or sexuality All I wanna do is give people bowl cuts Seriously is that too much to ask All I wanna do is give people bowlcuts Make them so beautiful And make everyone around them drool

Rat Tail 04:09
There are many things in life that I would do Things that won't make sense to you Things you wouldn't want me to There are many things i'm not supposed to take But I would do it anyway But there are just some things that you shouldn't even think of doing Some terrible things, unspeakable things Thinking about it makes my skin creep Makes me sick and pale You are an epic fail When you've given your kid a rat tail What the hell are they for anyway What are you trying to say Or did you miss a spot on haircut day Is it for pulling your kid in the right direction Or is it some kind of fashion slogan Or maybe you are just a bogan There are some unwritten laws that I just can't seem to ignore If you wanted a tuft then that was your desicion But did your kid give you the tuft permission I'm guessing it wouldn't sail You are an epic fail When you've given your kid a rat tail All the children running through the streets so oblivious and happy still They have no idea that they look like small marsupials Get your rat traps out and put some candy in it Cos tonight I'm bringing home a rat child for dinner It saddens me and make me deeply hurt To see this haircut re-occur I'd have thought you would have learnt That boganhood at a young age has been said To stunt your child's development They'll never be president (no) But don't you worry and don't you fret I've got a pair of scissors in my pocket Bring little Jayden here and we'll hold him down You grab his legs so he doesn't move around His little arms with flail And for that tuft he'll wail You are an epic fail When you've given your kid a rat tail When you've given your kid a rat tail

Merman 02:34
Oh I like to imagine Oh I like to dream About all the gay mermen Under the sea What would life be like as a gay merman What would my morning routine include How would I go about getting a tan As a gay merman I would imagine I'd quite like to party I think I would be just a little bit arty Grinding on the D-floor with the other gay mermen The D-floor under the ocean But life isn't perfect as a gay merman We are a small community And we have no legs and People go out of their way to make semen jokes about me When all I wanna do is grind on the D-floor Under the sea Oh I'm still undecided if this is the life for me I'm still undecided if this is the life for me

about

A magical storybook about the intimate lifestyle choices of magical creatures, the fluidity of gender diversity, and the cultural significance of your child’s haircut.

A love child of confusion, Lexie McGee sprung fully formed from the loins of a glitter encrusted children’s pantomime and the underbelly of a gin-soaked burlesque club. After spending years crafting her silly-face-making skills and contrary folk-comedia anthems, Lexie has emerged with a glitter and sequin-encrusted EP presenting the songs of her people (and other species).

With soulful strumming and flawless flailing, Lexie McGee lovingly assaults your emotions with manipulatively heart-wrenching chords and a delicately honeyed voice entangled with hilariously subtle lyrics that will ensure a liberal dose of thwarted expectations and cognitive confusion. Lexie McGee will have you in fits of giggles while transporting you to a fantastical world filled with fantastical creatures, naughty bits and bad haircuts.
