Christine - The Monochrome Set

When he was young

His cousin used to say of him

This boy will be a girl

Or look as if he should

And sure enough he did

Each night he'd close the door

Take off the sweater that he wore

And put on a dress

His mother's best

And sure enough he was

Oh Christine tell me where you go

When all the lights are low

Oh Christine tell me where you've been

Who are you in your dreams

At １７ he did not make the football team

He was the substitute

He played the flute

While sitting in the changing room

And when the others were

Perusing top-shelf magazines

He'd be stuck in jeans

And wish he was Miss April

With the stockings on

Oh Christine tell me where you go

When all the lights are low

Oh Christine tell me where you've been

Who are you in your dreams

Oh Christine oh Christine

Christine tell me where you go

Oh Christine oh Christine

Do you meet anyone there I know

By ２３ he'd saved the money to become

A lamb led to slaughter

His mother lost a son

And gained a daughter

Each night she'd close the door

Take off the sweater that she wore

And pull up the sheet her size １０ feet

Poked out but happy just the same

Oh Christine tell me where you go

When all the lights are low

Oh Christine tell me where you've been

Who are you in your dreams

Oh Christine tell me where you go

When all the lights are low

Oh Christine tell me where you've been

Who are you in your dreams
