The prettiest girls in town
all hang out with ray
when they heard that he was gay
it's not even true he goes either way
on both sides of the fence
with such great fashion sense
he makes a meal out of things you say
he says things taste better that way

he's just out of ordinary
then there's ray
his friends are sort of scary
and that's okay
as long as they're with ray

i have assessed the situation
but i don't know what to say
i'm gonna say that he's a source of inspiration
and i'm gonna sing this song anyway

shit goes down but not without ole ray
seems like every single day
he's out there all the time
he borders on sublime
on both sides of the fence
with such great fashion sense

he's totally insane
the best dope and the best cocaine
he's just out of ordinary
and then there's ray
he's just so very, very…
well, let's just say
when you're hanging out with ray

you couldn't have a conversation
while the radio was playing
he couldn't stop himself from dialing to his station
and he couldn't hear a word that you're saying

how long before you leave this town
how come your friends ain't around
how come so long
hanging out with ray?

all the fellas in town don't know what to say
they're envious of old ray
he's out there all the time
he borders on sublime
on both sides of the fence
with such great fashion sense
makes everything okay
when you're hanging out with ray

i have assessed the situation
but i don't know what to say
i'm gonna say that he's a source of inspiration
and i'm gonna sing this song anyway

you couldn't have a conversation
while the radio was playing
he couldn't stop himself from dialing to his station
and he couldn't hear a word that he's saying
i'm hanging out with ray
