Get The Lingo - Kristy Hellum

[Larry Robinson]

Get The Lingo 

She you hey they
I’m gonna get this right
He shim say them 
Don’t give up-stay light

Parents complain it’s hard on the brain
Getting all the lingo straight, no offense
While their nonbinary kids gotta go insane
Forced to check the wrong box again and again

Theydies and Gentlethems,
Welcome one and all
To the un-gender reveal ball
It’s time to admit it’s not your call 

There’s always existed in every history 
More than two genders is no mystery 
He she shim sham
Her him alajazam 

Saying you can’t understand it
Doesn’t mean they can’t demand it 
Let your tongue get tied in a knot
But soon you’ll get it like it or not 

My daughter they are doing okay 
My son is striving to be thriving
My child, the son is gendered some
My second born is gendered none
