Song Lyrics

TEN PERCENT
(c) Sandy Rapp 1990

God bless Pat Robertson he's the anointed one.
Jimmy he has sinned, it's scandalous to tell,
And Jerry lost his heart to the P.T.L.
But God saved Pat Robertson he can rebuke the storm.
He makes the mute to pray, but what he doesn't say
Is a tenth of televangelists are gay.

chorus:
We're TEN PERCENT in Alabamy we're point 1-0 in Idaho.
From Washington to Indiany, we're TEN PERCENT of the world.

God bless Lou Sullivan Bush's appointed one.
He was such a sport about the suicide report,
He said statistics on gay youth were ""anti-family.""
With old Bill Dannemeyer, he set the world afire.
They chatted every day, but what they never said
Is a tenth of all Republicans are gay.

chorus:
We're TEN PERCENT in Alabamy we're point 1-0 in Idaho.
From Washington to old Miami, and Mr. Limbaugh's little corner of the world.

God bless the Pentagon they are the special ones.
They signed Perry Watkins on he was good enough for Nam,
But he could not say he's gay today and stay in uniform.
Here's to the military's evolving policies,
Their own researchers tell: 'homosexuals' excel,
And a tenth of all the troops are G. & L.

chorus:
Were TEN PERCENT in Alabamy we're point 1-0 in Idaho.
From Washington to French Lick Indiany, we're TEN PERCENT of the world.

God bless the Park Police we marched in '93.
They knew we were a mil, but it gave them all a chill,
So they sanitize our numbers on the streets and on the Hill.
They'd said we're one percent, in a study financed by the government.
If they'd let that ""million"" stay, then they might have had to say:
Half of all gay U.S.A. made the parade.

chorus: We're TEN PERCENT in Alabamy we're point 1-0 in Idaho. HO!
From Washington to Dan Quayle's Indiany, we're TEN PERCENT of the world.
