We Own This Town

Tune - Bad Leroy Brown
Jim Croce

(Instrumental intro)

(sung by American Airlines Management)


Well, the king of D-F-Dubya
Is A-mer-i-can by far,
And if ya try to compete
We're gonna turn up the heat
Now, baby - who do you think you are?

Now, American's more than trouble
With an overwhelming market share
All the other airlines
Got the message, real quick
That you damn well better beware!

We're AA - WE - own this town,
The com-pe-ti-tion we will pound,
They're gonna wish that they were dead!
When we knock 'em upside of the head!

We'll use pre-da-to-ry pricing
And we'll offer up triple miles
We don't care about the money
We just wanna kill 'em, honey,
That's the way we play - it's just our style

Well, we'll fight them tooth and nail, now
We're never ever gonna let 'em win,
We're gonna tear 'em down,
And chase their assets outta town
Then we'll jack our fares up again!

We're AA - WE - own this town,
The com-pe-ti-tion we will drown,
We'll make 'em sorry, have no doubt
We'll chew 'em up and spit 'em out!

Dallas - Ft. Worth is our airport
And American's here to stay
It's our biggest hub,
(An exclusive little club)
And we'd like for things to stay that way.

We must keep the Wright Amendment
We don't want fares that are low
We'll fight it to the death
'Til we're completely out of breath
Because we're happy with the status quo.

We're AA - WE - own this town,
Competitors, they make us frown,
Our monopoly here's so sweet
Be-cause we really DON'T have to com-pete.

We'll lobby those po-li-ti-cians
And you know - we'll make lots of noise,
About the e-co-no-mic - en-gine
Of the Dallas Ft. Worth region,
'Cause we're tryin' hard to scare you boys.

We're AA - WE - own this town,
Repealing Wright might bring us down,
We have connections - have no doubt
You might say we have poltical clout

Hear us Congress when we shout!
Monopolies are what we're all about!


Ft. Worth Again - Naturally

Tune - Alone Again, Naturally
Gilbert O'Sullivan

(Sung by Dallas City Council)

Dallas gets a new airline
That Legend's lookin' mighty darned fine
The deal is sealed
They'll be usin' Love Field
Now Ft. Worth wants to whine
But what about us they say?
We say "you've got AA"
Well that's just tough
And it's not enough
So Ft. Worth wants Love closed down
'Cause Legend will affect -
Their corporate leaders' yield
So they must ask respectfully that
Dallas close Love Field now
Which city is not our friend?
Who's suing us again?
Yes, it's Ft.Worth - naturally

Just when we get a break
Good grief, well for heaven's sake!
What on earth?
Here comes Ft. Worth!
Oh Lord - how much more can we take?
They're suin' us once again
It seems like we just can't win
They want to close our
Dallas Love Field
And use D-F-W now
But we like our Love Field
It's small and uncongested
It's not like D-F-W
(All AA infested)
They're no Dallas friend
Who's suing us again?
Oh yes, Ft. Worth - naturally

It seems to us that Ft. Worth
Ought to mind their own dang business
They're unbending
it's never ending
What will they do?
Who will they sue?

American owns that town
Always bossin' Ft. Worth around
Ft. Worth's a wimp
And AA's their pimp
And they both bring the Metroplex down
Ft. Worth's gonna fight for what's "theirs"
And if Dallasites suffer, who cares?
They're gonna sue
If AA tells 'em to,
'Cause they've done it time and time again now
So here's a message to -
Our lovely neighbor city:
You wanna have a catfight?
It damn sure won't be pretty
We've got attorneys, too
Now I wonder who we'll sue?
Ft. Worth again - naturally

Ft. Worth has sealed their fate
They're the city Dallas loves to hate
They love to sue,
But Dallas can too
So why don't we, let's not wait
Let's show 'em that Dallas is proud
In the court room we'll say it real loud
Ft. Worth, you cheat
Your Alliance competes
With D-F-W now
It takes that revenue
And it all goes straight to you
So just which city broke the "deal"
Gee we wonder who?
So go ahead and have a cow
We ask who's guilty now?
Ft. Worth again - naturally
Ft. Worth again - naturally



Here They Come Again

Tune - Here They Come Again
Dolly Parton

(Sung by Legend & Continental Express)


(instrumental intro)

Here they come again
Ft. Worth and American -
They're on the rampage
They have lawyers galore
They've gone to court before
They're gonna try real hard to
Sue us out of business

Here they come again
Just when we're about to spread our
Wings and fly now
They give it one more try
They wanna see us die
And pretty soon we're wonderin'
They hate us - but why, now?

All they wanna do
Is kill us off
We wish they would come to their senses
Just leave it up to them
They'll drag it out so long
These lawsuits waste our time
Increasing our expenses

Here they come again
Lookin' meaner than a city
Has a right to
An' shakin' us up so
That all we really know
Is here they come again
An' here we go

(instrumental break)

All they gotta do
Is flash that cash
And there go the court's defenses
Just leave it up to them
They'll sue and sue again
Just wastin' all our time
Increasin' our expenses

Here they come again
Looks like we'll be going right back
To the courtroom
They're suin' us again
This time we're gonna win
But here they come again
So here we go

Fade:

Here we go
An' here we go

Southwest Growth & Success

Tune - Rawhide
TV Show


(Intro)

Low Fares!
Since deregulation
All across the nation
Each and every station
Every destination
Low Fares!

(Instrumental bridge)

Growin, growin' growin'
Keep those Boeings goin'
Keep those profits flowin'
Southwest!

With each destination
We get more liberation
From high airfares that's
What Southwest does best.

Seven-thirty-sevens
Will fly us through the heavens
Southwest they make more
Profits than the rest.

Herd 'em on, load 'em up
Taxi out, fly 'em there
Taxi in, dump 'em off
Southwest!

Clean the plane, load the bags,
Board the folks, leave on time
Serve 'em drinks, charge low fares
Southwest!

And all across the nation
There's cause for celebration
New pricing innovations
Southwest!

So keep those airplanes flyin'
Cheap tickets we are buyin'
The legacies are cryin'
Go Southwest!

Pay no attention to 'em
We're done with them so screw 'em
You'd know why if you flew 'em
Hey Southwest!

Herd 'em on, load 'em up
Taxi out, fly 'em there
Taxi in, dump 'em off
Southwest!

Clean the plane, load the bags,
Board the folks, leave on time
Serve 'em drinks, charge low fares
Southwest!

Love Field - it should be freed
We wish that Congress a-greed
More choices are what we need
End Wright!

It violates tradtion
And hinders competition
So, Congress that's why
We won't end our fight - (won't end our fight)

End the law, take it back
Strike it down, vote it out,
Do it quick, hurrry please
Tonight!

Get it done, do it now
Don't delay, right away
Hear us say, act today
End W-R-I-I-I-G-H-T!

(It's bad legislation)
(Listen to the nation)
(Before we lose our patience)

End W-R-I-I-I-G-H-T!

{Wright now)


L-E-G-E-N-D


Tune - M-O-T-H-E-R


(Instrumental Intro)

L - is for the luxury you gave us
E - is for excitement (you had flair)
G - is for the gourmet food you served us
E's -cause we wish you flew everywhere
N - is for those nice planes that we flew on
D - is for Big D - we loved you so
Put them all together they spell Legend
We were so sad to see you go

You were always classy - we remember
Gracious flight attendants set the mood
Comfy leather seats and valet parking
Legend never gave us attitude
Though you're gone we will not soon forget you
For eight short months we got some relief
We'll always have the fondest memories of you
Sweet Legend Airlines rest in peace


Love Field Master Plan


Tune - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
The Beatles

(Sung by Dallasites)


(Instrumental intro)

Oh Yeah, the city council
They passed the master plan
Love Field with - thirty-two gates
We think that idea's grand!
Now more airplanes can land
The Love Field Master Plan!

Tear down those - extra gates, though
Just so you understand
Love Field can't - get too big, now
But DFW can!
Yes DFW can!
The Love Field Master Plan!

Let's work together and both airports can thrive.
We've got determination, grits,
Guts and Pride!
Guts and Pride!
Guts and Pride!

This fighting - over Love Field
We thought would never end
We're glad that's - all behind us
Now we can all be friends
We wanna be your friend, Ft. Worth
We wanna be your friend

Ft. Worth and Dallas both together - a team
We'll build two world-class cities - yes
That's our dream!
That's our dream!
That's our dream!

We need to - help each other
So join us hand in hand
We'll both make - Dallas/Ft. Worth
The best place in the land
Yes DFW can!
If Love Field gives a hand!
The Love Field Master P-l-a-a-a-n!
