Because I have been pretty blue the past few days

I needed to put something here that I can look up without having to Google it.

 "It's Not Just For Gays Any More"
If you've seen a show, then you already know
how magical theater can be!
It's a two-hour, live-action, barely-affordable
un-lip-synched version of Glee


So this song goes out to the rest of you
Those who've never seen theater before 
Because Broadway has never been broader...
It's not just for gays any more!


If you feel like someone that this world excludes,
It's no longer only for dudes who like dudes!
Attention every breeder, you're invited to the theater!
It's not just for gays anymore!


The glamor of Broadway is beckoning straights
The people who marry in all 50 states
We're asking every hetero to get to know us better-o
It's not just for gays anymore!


It's for fine upstanding Christians who know all the songs from Grease
It's for sober-minded businessmen who yearn for some release!


So put down your Playboy and go make a plan
to pick up a Playbill and feel like a man!
There's so much to discover

With your different gendered lover
It's not just for gays...
the gays and the Jews...
and cousins in from out of town you have to amuse...
and the sad and bitter malcontents who write the reviews...
and also foreign tourists and groups of senior citizens
and wealthy suburbanites and liberal intellectuals
although that group is really only Jews and homosexuals
I've lost my train of thought...
Oh yes, it's not just for gays anymore!

....


We've got swarms of Mormons, showgirls, sailors, dancing boys and nuns
Plus a Spider facing death-defying budget overruns


So people from red states and people from blue
A big Broadway rainbow is waiting for you!
Come and be inspired
There's no sodomy required!
It's not just for gays, it's not just for gays
We'd be twice as proud to have you if you go both ways!


It's not just for gays anymore!
 Written, brilliantly,  by David Javerbaum, and performed, again brilliantly, by Neil Patrick Harris.
