Good enough *g* It's called You Could Drive a Person Crazy

(Bobby is very gay)

You could understand a person, if he wasn't good in bed; you could understand a person, if he happened to be DEAD...

I looked up the lyrics and it's interesting to see that the revival in '96 had a couple of different versions of one line -

"You could understand a person if he said to go away
You could understand a person if he happened to be gay"

And on a different site:

"You could understand a person if it's not a person's bag
You could understand a person if the person was a fag"

Huh! Interesting. The 'gay' line is what's on the soundtrack I have, the one with Jane Krakowski as April. (It was my first choice to quote but I couldn't remember the rhyming line)

The version I have is the second, but 'fag' has been replaced with 'drag'. Hmm.
