Andrew In Drag Lyrics
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 go 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 that 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've become a mama'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
the only girl i ever loved was andrew in drag
there is no hope of love for me, from here on i go stag
the only girl i'll ever love is andrew in drag
andrew in drag, yeah!
just thought it might be funny to see andrew in drag
the moment he walked on that stage my tail began to wag
wag like a little wiener dog for andrew in drag
andrew in drag, yeah!
but i've become a mama'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, yeah!
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

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."

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.

Great song.
Great song.
I really like that interpretation. The confused feelings of a young 1960s Yale hotshot. Excellent imagery.

Yet another brilliant Merritt song that is both hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.
