Barry Manilow's Take On Brokeback Mountain

    His name was Ennis
    He was a Shepard
    With cowboy hat and assless chaps
    He should have kept it under wraps
    He would merengue and do the cha-cha
    And when he'd drink and fall asleep
    Jack Twist tended to the sheep
    Across the mountain heights
    They worked the summer nights
    They were young and they had each other
    And had rough sex fights

    Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
    Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting
    Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
    They felt the passion as they discussed fashion
    Up at Brokeback

    .... they fell in love
    Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain

    He was the boss man
    He did some firing
    When he went to the mountain top
    And he saw Ennis getting bopped
    And when they finished, he fired them pronto
    Later Jack went a bit too far
    Gay bashers saw him at a bar
    And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
    There was blood and a single gun shot
    But just who shot who?

    Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
    Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting
    Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
    They felt the passion as they discussed fashion
    Up at Brokeback

    .... he lost his love

    His name was Ennis, he was a shepherd
    But that was a long time ago, when closets hid more than clothes
    Now gays have pride days, but not our Ennis
    Still in the chaps he used to wear, faded feathers in his hair
    He sits there so refined, and drinks himself half-blind
    He lost his Jack and he lost his family
    Taking it from behind!

    Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
    Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting
    Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
    They felt the passion as they discussed fashion
    Up at Brokeback

    .... don't fall in love
    Don't fall in love
