Oh Ali, what your wife don't know won't hurt her
Oh Ali, meet me at the hotel after work
Oh Ali, bring your spliff and cell phone
Oh Ali, and after you come you go home.
Oh Ali, you won't hold my hand you won't say my name
Oh Ali, you say you're straight it's such a shame
Oh Ali, Mississauga makes you feel lost
Oh Ali, you drive downtown so you can get off
Oh Ali, you're so afraid your son is gay
Oh Ali, he's only six for Christ's sake
Oh Ali, because you hate yourself you get away with it
Oh Ali, I hide these bruises like I hide your secret
