If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away---Henry David Thoreau

P-I-N-K



P-I-N-K
Words by Leo Hartshorn
(to the tune of YMCA)

Mennos, tell me what do you think
about Mennos who make statements in pink
or those Mennos who watch Miami Ink
and who pierce their tender bodies

Mennos, they may be in your town
And they won’t be wearing gray or dark brown
They will love you when you put them all down
But they’ll do it all with color

It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K
It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K

We wonder if Felix Mantz
would have worn pink pants
and if George Blaurock’s coat looked gay

It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K
It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K

So wear your pink to your school,
Your church or office carpool
but only if you are out all day

Mennos, you should welcome us in
I said Mennos, would it be such a sin
to love Mennos who love women and men
when the Lord loved everybody?

Mennos, it is now the right time
to add colors like pink, fuchsia, and lime
to Christ’s body and stop performing mime
when it comes to conversation

It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K
It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K

Don’t take your welcome sign down
if we come to your town
or just happen to be your kin

It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K
It’s fun for Mennos to wear P-I-N-K

Bender may turn in his grave
Hershberger tell us “Behave!”
But we will wear pink with such a grin
