Ballad of Ted Bandpat

Come listen to my story
About a man named Ted
A poor trans girl
Lived inside his head
Then one day when crying feeling blue
She decided she would stop being a fake dude
Be a girl, that is, both pretty and bold
Be called a “she”

Well the first thing you know
She was out and didn’t care
Even though her friends online
Said “move away from there”
But her family showed their quality
And loved her so she didn’t have to flee
Surprised her, they did
Held her hand, and had her back

She said good-bye to Ted, not gonna be one of the men.
And she would like to thank her folks for dealing with the spin
And if you are ever near to her locality
She’d be glad to show you hospitality
Girly style that is. Pink tablecloth. Perfume in the air
So you all go down there, you hear?
