Teaching English by Fran has always wanted to promote equality among people, no matter what sex, style, colour you are.
However, T.E. is also to teach grammar mostly to teenagers, and this song is going to help us to revise Second Conditional in English and the use of subjuntive in Spanish
IF + PAST SIMPLE , WOULD + INFINITIVE (Main Clause)
This is what Andrea G. has prepared, also thinking about conditional sentences.

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I will roll out of bed in the _________
and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the ______
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my _______
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone
even just for a day
I will roll out of bed in the _________
and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the ______
and chase after girls
