In a previous thread, you asked for this song to which I had referred. I have gotten to the bottom of my vinyl collection, so here it is.
Thank You Anita by Charlie King, transcribed from his album "Somebody's Story."

CHORUS: Thank you Anita, ya couldn't 'a been sweeta,
You brought us together like never before.
Thanks to your mission, your new found profession,
It's now your obsession, not mine anymore.

I am the gay one, afraid of the straight one,
I kept my head down and I thought I'd get by.
But you and your cause it pushed me from the closet
Now I lift up my head and I sing to the sky. CHO:

I am the straight one, afraid of the gay one,
I thought they'd make me one if I offered my hand.
But since your fiasco, I'm marchin' in Frisco.
Two hundred thousand strong walkin' as friends. CHO:

You thought you'd divide us, instead you unite us.
The lesson you taught us we knew all along.
We all end up better, by standing together,
As sisters and brothers just singin' this song. CHO:

Thank you Anita, ya couldn't 'a been sweeta.
The people that need you won't need you for long.
Me, I'm just hangin' loose, boycottin' orange juice
Long as you're on the loose, I'll sing this song. CHO:

Enjoy!
Roger in Baltimore
