(North Carolina Wedding-Cake Bakers’ Version)
If I know that you’re gay, I will not bake a cake, Bake a cake, bake a cake. ’Cause I’m staying true to Jesus—that I won’t forsake. So vamoose! Just get out of my sight! If I know that you’re gay, then you’re not welcome here. Disappear, disappear. ’Cause you violate the teachings that I hold so dear. I can say take a hike. It’s my right.
