Luyện nghe bài hát Once Upon A Time

(We continue to and evolve as a community. The changes are
surprising... and confusing.)
Once a time when life was simple and serene
My roommate was a lesbian and I a queen
I lived for brunches in my tightest fitting jeans
While she read _The Well of Loneliness_ and _Plexus_
But now I go to potlucks where the food is bleak

It's getting hard to tell the boys girls
Hard to tell the men women
Hard to tell the from the dykes
Now if all of this appears to show that everyone's mad
It's only part and parcel of a somewhat fad

It's getting to tell the breeders* from the queers
