A playwright, a poet A dandy man Living on the edge Of the Laws of the land Being Earnest was important A grand success And Dorian Gray One of your best But You were too bloody gay Oscar Wilde You were born in the right place But you were born at the wrong time Your humour and sarcasm Your dash and your flair You're a big Irish gay And we don't care With Alfred Douglas you had a ball But The marquis of Queensberry Was your downfall The prejudice back then For the love of men Sent you to Jail Persecuted again You were too bloody gay Oscar Wilde You were born in the right place But you were born at the wrong time Your humour and sarcasm Your dash and your flair You're a big Irish gay And we don't care You fought in the courts for a way to be free But you were set up by Queensberry You hoped that the law would let you be you But the laws of the day were archaic and cruel Hurtful to you You continued to write So deep so profound The ballad of Reading Jail A heart wrenching tale Your so long gone Over a hundred years But your works live on And bring us all to tears
