Hey, brother! Put your ear to the radio, for I have something really beautiful to say…
When a man loves a man
It’s part of God’s great plan
If you don’t believe in God
Substitute your fishing rod
God doesn’t mind if you
Love a fine man or two
God’s always understood
Love makes everyone feel good
When a man loves a man
It’s part of God’s great plan
If you don’t believe in God
Substitute your cattle prod
God thinks love is first-rate
It’s way better than hate
Love makes you not so weird
Not so freakish, not so feared
When a man loves a man
It’s part of God’s great plan
If you don’t believe in God
Substitute your partner’s bod
When a man loves a man
It’s part of God’s great plan
If you don’t believe in God
That’s okay! You’re not so odd!
(Repeat the four choruses in order as the song fades.)
