Being a most lamentable History of
Fluff The Tragic Drag Queen

Words copyright 1997 Holly Tannen.
Tune:"Puff the Magic Dragon"
Original words and music by Peter Yarrow and Leonard Tipton
(chorus)
Fluff, the tragic drag queen lived by the bay
And frolicked in the summer fog seven hours from L.A.
Little Jackie Fag-Hag loved that rascal Fluff
And brought her lace and camisoles and other fancy stuff.
Together they'd go cruising the Castro block by block
Jackie made up fairy tales of Fluff's gigantic.......frock
Leather men and twinkies trembled when she came
The other queens would cream their jeans when Fluff squealed out her name.
(chorus)
Now drag queen live forever, but fag-hags fade away
Midnight flings and nipple rings make way for resumˇs
Jackie went to Stanford to get her MBA
And Fluff the tragic drag queen sobbed into her Chardonnay.
Her head was bent in sorrow, her make-up fell like rain
Fluff got hooked on reefer and began to snort cocaine
Without her lifelong friend, Fluff could not be gay
So just for spite one foggy night she jumped into the bay.
(chorus)
Fluff, the tragic drag queen, lived by the bay
And frolicked in the summer fog seven hours from L.A.
Fluff, the tragic drag queen, lived by the bay
And frolicked in the summer fog seven hours from L.A.

"Fluff" is a parody; thus, in my understanding, it is protected under the
fair use provision of copyright law.

Chords: G Bm C G / C G A D / G Bm C G / C G AD G

Note: the chord progression to "Fluff" is so similar to that of
"Pachelbel's Canon" that they can be interspersed. Try it!
