Standard (EADGBE)

In our modern free spoken society

 There is a word that we still hold taboo

 A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue

Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word

 With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords

 A couple of G's an R and an E an I and an N

 Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend

And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to

Reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's use

So never under estimate the power that language imparts

Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts

 A couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with it

 An I and an aNd in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spell

 it out again

x2

Yeah

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

 So listen to me if you care for your health

 You wont call me ginger less your ginger yourself

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

When you are a ginger life is pretty hard

Years of ritual bullying in the school yard

Kids calling you ranga and fanta pants

No invitation to the high school dance

 But you get up and learn to hold your head up

 You try to keep your cool and not get het up

 But until the feeling of ill is truly let up

 Then the word is ours and ours alone don't you know

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

So if you call us ginge we just might come unhinged

If you don't have a fringe with at least a tinge of the ginge in it

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Now listen to me we're not looking for sympathy

Just because we are sensitive to UV

Just ‘cause we're pathetically pale

We do alright with the females

Yeah I like to ask the ladies round for ginger beer

And soon they're running their fingers through my ginger beard

And dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea

And asking if they can call me ginge, And I say I don't think that's appropriate

Cus only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga

And all the ladies agree it's a fact once you've gone ginge you can't go back

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Yeah go ginge go you funky ginge

 Yeah you can call us bozo or fire truck

 You can even call us carrot top or blood nut

Yeah you can call us match stick or tampon

 But f**king with the G word is just not on

If you're a ginger bowl and you don't like us

You gonna stand up to the fight if you want to fight us

But if you cut yourself you might catch gingervitus

 So maybe you should shut your funky mouth

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

So if you call us ginge you can't winge if your injured

 If you don't have a tinge of the ginge in your minge

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger yeah

And you know my kids will always be clothed and fed

Cus papa's going to be bringing home the ginger bread

And they'll be pretty smart because they'll be well read

 And by read I mean read and the other kind of red wooo

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger wooo

Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga

Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja

 Yeah only a ginger only a ginger only a ginger yeah

Are you listen-inga I'm not pointing the finga

 I'm just having a singa

 I'm just right in ya

 But on.ly a gin.ger can call a.no.ther gin.ger Gin.ger
