Is She Is, or Is She Ain't

by The Charmer

on Is She Is, Or Is She Ain´t / Lonely Boy (1946), Caribbean Audio Odyssey (2017)

I am trying to find a solution
'Bout a certain person
Trying to find a solution
'Bout a certain person
With this modern surgery
They changed him from he to she
But behind that lipstick, rouge and paint
I got to know, is she is, or is she ain't?

I wonder what gave him the idea and the spark
To leave the country bound for Denmark
He tried to live the life of a man
But that was not in accord with nature's plan
So he underwent this operation
And came back home to shock the nation
But behind that lipstick, rouge and paint
I got to know, is she is, or is she ain't?

When he-she came back to this country
They made her a popular celebrity
All the public sentiment
She got movie contracts and plenty engagements
People came out of curiosity
To see this amazing freak of the century
But behind that lipstick, rouge and paint
I still wonder, is she is, or is she ain't?

When that lady walk across the stage
They call her the wonder of this modern age
Now she making plenty money
Because of hormones and plastic surgery
Drawing down twenty thousand a week
And not one listening to this record could get a peek
So behind that lipstick, rouge and paint
What d'you think she is? Boy, I know she ain't!
