The Lyrics
I started out with the intention of making a parody of "Big Bad John" and ended up with the anti-Big Bad John. The anti of him is Boy George-Every Mother and Father's worst fear.
Every night at ten Boy George did arrive
Singing like a woman in overdive
All painted up with lipstick on his lip
Every homo liked it
When he pulled out a whip
He was every mother and fathers worst fear
Every time they saw him they shed a tear
It was the 80's and there were people into unisex
He had them stomping their feet & craning their necks
He pointed to the audience and said "Let's Everyone sing
And he soon offered a boy on the third row a wedding ring
He let out a shout and started to whirl
You couldn't be sure if he was a man or girl
Suddenly everybody started singing Karma Karma Chameleon
We come and go, we come and go
Life would be so easy if it wasn't for my daddy
He's a man with convictions
I'm a man of contradictions-I come and go
He got back on the stage and said I'm Boy George
I wear clothes of women-is there any doubt
I'm all made up and I perm my hair
I wear clothes even Liberace wouldn't wear
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contridiction
I come and go
I come and go
Life would be easy if it wasn't for my daddy
He's a man with convictions
I'm a man of contradictions
I come and go-I come and go
Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
I come and go-I come and go
Singing like a woman in overdive
All painted up with lipstick on his lip
Every homo liked it
When he pulled out a whip
He was every mother and fathers worst fear
Every time they saw him they shed a tear
It was the 80's and there were people into unisex
He had them stomping their feet & craning their necks
He pointed to the audience and said "Let's Everyone sing
And he soon offered a boy on the third row a wedding ring
He let out a shout and started to whirl
You couldn't be sure if he was a man or girl
Suddenly everybody started singing Karma Karma Chameleon
We come and go, we come and go
Life would be so easy if it wasn't for my daddy
He's a man with convictions
I'm a man of contradictions-I come and go
He got back on the stage and said I'm Boy George
I wear clothes of women-is there any doubt
I'm all made up and I perm my hair
I wear clothes even Liberace wouldn't wear
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contridiction
I come and go
I come and go
Life would be easy if it wasn't for my daddy
He's a man with convictions
I'm a man of contradictions
I come and go-I come and go
Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
I come and go-I come and go
