My favorite color has always been periwinkle
It's brought on accusations that I twinkle bright
Sibilant s's hit my teeth
I'm drawing patterns in the sawdust at my feet
Revealing gender party games
They'll be confused when you explain why you wear that dress
Cuz boys don't wear dresses
Boys make messes
And they call each other names
Blue wasn't me
Pink was too obvious
I was something more in between
But fitting in is always best
When you're living in a one stop-light town in the Midwest
Revealing gender party games
They'll be confused when you explain why you wear that dress
Cuz boys don't wear dresses
Boys make messes
And they call each other names
Stones and sticks and politics
The hypo-Christian hypocrites just need someone to blame
For all their messes
And their sons in dresses
Oh the queen's begun to flame
Cuz boys don't wear dresses
Boys make messes
And they learn to play the game
My favorite color has always been periwinkle
