King For A Day

Song byGreen Day
in AlbumNimrod

Started at the age of 4.

My mother went to the grocery store.

Went sneaking throught her bedroom door to find something in a size 4.

Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls.

GI Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only.

King for a day, princess by dawn.

King for a day in a leather thong.

King for a day, princess by dawn.

Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me.

My daddy threw me in therapy.

He thinks I'm not a real man.

Who put the drag in the drag queen.

Don't knock it until you tried it

It’s a commentary on breaking free from rigid societal structures and celebrating individuality.
