Grantaire:
There! Right There!
Look at that tan, well tended skin.
Look at the killer shape he's in.
Look at that slightly stubbly chin.
Oh Please he's gay, totally gay.
Enjolras:
I'm not about to celebrate.
Every trait could indicate
The totally straight expatriate.
This guy's not gay, I say not gay.
All:
That is the elephant in the room.
Well is it relevant to assume
that a man who wears perfume
is automatically radically fey?
Combeferre:
But look at his coiffed and crispy locks.
Grantaire:
Look at his silk translucent socks.
Enjolras:
There's the eternal paradox.
Look what we're seeing.
Grantaire:
What are we seeing?
Enjolras:
Is he gay?
Grantaire:
Of course he's gay.
Enjolras:
Or European?
All:
Ohhhhhh.
Gay or European?
It's hard to guarantee
Is he gay or European?
Bahorel:
Well, hey don't look at me.
Jehan:
You see they bring their boys up different
In those charming foreign ports.
They play peculiar sports.
All:
In shiny shirts and tiny shorts.
Gay or foreign fella?
The answer could take weeks.
They will say things like "ciao bella"
while they kiss you on both cheeks.
Grantaire:
Oh please.
All:
Gay or European?
So many shades of gray.
Courfeyrac:
Depending on the time of day, the French go either way.
(no comment)
All:
Is he gay or European?
or
Éponine:
There! Right There!
Look at that condescending smirk.
Seen it on every guy at work.
That is a metro hetero jerk.
That guy's not gay, I say no way!
All:
That is the elephant in the room.

Marius:
So stylish and relaxed.
All:
Is he gay or European?
Marius:
I think his chest is waxed.
Cosette:
But they bring their boys up different there.
It's culturally diverse.
It's not a fashion curse.
All:
If he wears a kilt or bears a purse.
Gay or just exotic?
I still can't crack the code.
Feuilly:
Yet his accent is hypnotic
but his shoes are pointy toed.
All:
Huh.
Gay or European?
So many shades of gray.
Musichetta:
But if he turns out straight I'm free at eight on Saturday.
All:
Is he gay or European?
