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
