Out Of The Wardrobe Lyrics - Kinks

Has anybody here seen a chick called Dick 

He looks real burly but he's really hip 

He's six feet tall and his arms are all brown and hairy 

Well, he married Betty Lou back in '65 when you had to be butch to survive 

But lately he's been looking at his wife with mixed emotions 

You see, he's not a common place closet queen 

He shouldn't be hidden, he should be seen 

'cos when he puts on that dress 

He looks like a princess 

The day he came out of the wardrobe 

Betty Lou got quite a surprise 

She didn't know whether she should get angry or not bat an eye 

She really couldn't call up her mother 

Mama would positively die 

Should she go or stay or should she try to get a trial separation

You see, he's not a faggot as you might suppose 

He just feels restricted in conventional clothes 

'cos when he puts on that dress, he feels like a princess 

He's not a dandy, he's only living out a fantasy 

He's not a pansy, he's only being what he wants to be 

Now his life is rearranged and he's grateful for the change 

He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets 

Betty Lou didn't know what to do at first 

But she's learning how to cope at last 

She's got the best of both worlds 

And she's really in a state of elation 

She says it helps their relationship 

She says a change is as good as a rest 

And their friends finally coming 'round to their way of thinking 

She wears the trousers and smokes the pipe 

And he washes up 

She helps him wipe 

'Cos when he puts on that dress 

He looks like a princess

He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling alright 

He's out of the wardrobe and he's feeling satisfied 

Now it's farewell to the past 

The secret's out at last 

He's out of the wardrobe and now he's got no regrets
