It is on the B-side of this 45. The lyrics include: Frankie and Johnnie were lovers …Swore to stick to one another just like two wet postage stamps/ He was his man, but he done him wrong/ Frankie swished down to the gay bar, to get him some pink lemonade/ He asked has my Johnnie been in here, was he caught in last night’s raid.... Eyde also wrote for the Daughters of Bilitis’ national magazine, The Ladder. When her first choice for a pen-name, “Ima Spinster,” was rejected she chose the anagram “Lisa Ben.” Get it? Before writing for The Ladder, Eyde published her own magazine, titled Vice Versa, from 1947-1948. At the time, she was working at RKO Studios and her boss told her to always look busy. So, during downtime, she wrote the magazine at her desk. #SmithsonianPride #Pride #Pride2019 #Stonewall50 #SmithsonianMusic #MusicHistory #EntertainmentHistory #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #LGBTQHistory #Philanthropy #WomensHistory #BecauseOfHerStory」6月24日 22時08分
