Tune - Hit the Road, Jack
Ray Charles

(Sung by short-haul flyers)

(Instrumental intro)

Hit the road jack - we ain't gonna fly
Short-haul no more, no more, no more
We won't be back - We ain't gonna fly no more.

Hit the road jack - we ain't gonna fly
Short-haul, no more, no more, no more
Drivin's faster - security is just a chore

September 11, we went through hell
Airplanes crashed and towers fell
That fateful day - our lives - CHANGED
A whole new world and it seemed deranged

Gas the car up - we ain't gonna fly
Short haul, no more, no more, no more
Buckle up, now - we ain't gonna fly no more

Sit in traffic - we ain't gonna fly
Short-haul, no more, no more, no more,
Clog the freeways - we ain't gonna fly no more.

Now travel's a nightmare - we've got the blues,
Long lines & now we take off shoes
There's now even people gettin' pulled off planes
It seems that the whole world's gone insane
Yes that's the brand-new way
And we can thank the TSA!

Extra screening - we ain't gonna fly
Short-haul no more, no more, no more
Missed connections - we ain't gonna fly no more

Hit the road jack - we ain't gonna fly
Short-haul no more, no more, no more
We won't go back - we ain't comin' back for more.

(Security's just a chore)
(Ain't gonna fly no more)
(We've had it - we're declarin' war)
(Ain't gonna fly no more)
(Listen to our engines roar)
(Ain't gonna fly no more)
(Security's just a chore)
(Ain't gonna fly no more)
(We've had it - we're declarin' war)
(Ain't gonna fly no more)
(Listen to our engines roar)
(Ain't gonna fly no more)

Tune - Crazy
Patsy Cline

(Sung by the general public about DFW & AA)

They're crazy -
And lazy -
The D-F-Dubya way.

Tune - Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Frankie Vali

(Sung by DFW)

(Instrumental Intro)

We got some bad news today
Delta is goin' away
With major projects and such
We're gonna mi$$ them so much

When Delta told us, we cried
And felt all nauseous inside
They won't be paying, you see
For Skylink & Terminal D

Well it just hardly seems fair
We thought they'd always be there.
This news makes us wanna freak
We'll be financially weak

Delta, you've been here for years
And as we choke back our tears
We built this big Taj-Mahal,
Who's gonna pay for it all?

Delta, Delta, don't you leave us, we
Can't a - fford - it, please believe us, so,
Delta, Delta, don't you leave us, oh
Please don't leave us - n-o-o-o-w.

Oh Delta Air Lines
Please don't go away
Now Delta Air Lines
We really wish you'd stay
Oh Delta Air Lines
Trust in us when we s-a-y
Please, Delta Air Lines,
Tell us that it's not so
Now, Delta Air Lines
We hate to see you go
We really hoped you'd be here to help us p-a-y

But Delta said with a sigh
Your costs are gettin' too high
And AA's just way too strong
That's why we're sayin' so long.

We hope that it's not too late
For us to con-so-li-date
Might as well turn out the lights
(You're losin' two hundred flights.)

Delta Delta, don't you leave us, we
Can't a - fford it, please believe us, oh,
Delta, Delta, you deceived us, oh
Please don't leave us - n-o-o-o-w.

Oh Delta Air Lines
How dare you go away?
Now Delta Air Lines
We're gonna make you pay,
Oh Delta Air Lines
Trust in us when we s-a-y:
Oh, Delta Air Lines,
Tell us that it's not so
Now, Delta Air Lines
We hate to see you go
Oh Delta Air Lines -
Please don't leave us this way (Fade)

Tune - Your Mama Don't Dance (and your daddy don't rock & roll)
Kenny Loggins

(Sung by Dallas Love Field Passengers)

(Instrumental Intro)

It's twenty-six years now
The Wright Amendment needs to die
At Dallas Love Field
We've got places that we wanna fly
We pay an arm and leg
Congress please don't make us beg.
Let us fly! - Tell Wright goodbye!

So open up Love Field
And you'll strengthen our economy
More choices & Low fares
Mean more passengers,
Oh can't you see?
Lots of happy faces
Flyin' brand new places
Help us please - and Set Love Free.

(And it's all because)

The people say it's time
Now the Wright Amendment needs to go
We're tired of higher fares and
That's somethin' that you 'oughta know
Bring de-re-gu-la-tion
To our part of the nation
Don't say no - 'cause Wright must go

We'd love to fly to Pittsburgh,
San Diego - Tampa Bay
Philadelphia, Portland,
Chicago, Phoenix, San Jose.
Jacksonville and Boston
But we need help from Austin;
Washington, too -
And especially you!

Those seven-thirty-seven's
With "Southwest" on the tail
They want to fly to Reno -
Spokane - Ft. Lauderdale

But Congress, we need your help
You've got to Set Love Free
So we can fly to Tucson
Detroit & Albany

And Salt Lake City - Nashville,
Cleveland - Buffalo
St. Louis, Oakland, Burbank
And Boise Idaho (now)

Congress gather 'round -
Hear us clearly when we shout
Free market competition
Is what we're all about
We're tired of being price-gouged
And charged with extra fees
If it's one thing we hate
It's mo-no-po-lies!

You hear me?
You're the key!
To Set Love Free!

(And it's all because)

The Metroplex has spoken and
The Wright Amendment needs to go!

(W-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!)

We're tired of higher fares and
That's somethin' that you 'oughta know

(O-o-h-h-h-h! - Now do you hear us Congress?)

Bring de-re-gu-la-tion
To our part of the nation
Don't say no - 'cause Wright must go
Don't say no - 'cause Wright must go
Don't wait too long - 'cause Wright is Wrong.

Tune - The Letter
The Box Tops

(Instrumental intro)

No longer neutral -
Southwest says they'll now fight
While D-F-Dubya Airport
Is still supportin' Wright
They'll turn up the heat
(Don't wanna compete)
So Jeffrey Fegan - he wrote a letter

They don't care how many
Letters they have to send
Gotta make sure
The Wright Amendment never ends
They think Wright should be
Re-solved lo-ca-lly
So Jeffrey Fegan - he wrote a letter

Well, he wrote 'em a letter
Saying how he couldn't live
Without Wright no more
So D-F-Dubya Airport and
American and Ft. Worth
They're declarin' war
On Southwest

To every major airport
Across the land -
Stay out of their business
Do you understand?
They think Wright should be
Re-solved lo-cal-ly
So Jeffrey Fegan - he wrote a letter

Well, he wrote 'em a letter
Sayin' D-F-Dubya can't afford
A repeal of Wright
With all this new construction and now
Delta Air Lines leavin'
They just can't sleep at night
Things are tight! (yeah!)

Gettin' rid of Wright's
What American fears
So - they hope you hear
Their message loud and clear
They think Wright should be
Re-solved lo-cal-ly
So Jeffrey Fegan - he wrote a letter
Yeah, Jeffrey Fegan - he sent a letter

(to)

Cleveland, Hartford, L.A., Boston
Houston, Phoenix, Nashville, Austin
Tuscon, Oakland, Tampa Bay and
Philadelphia, San Jose and
San Diego, Baltimore and Louisville and MORE!

Tune - Help
The Beatles

(Sung by DFW Airport Board)

Help, we need an airline
Help, not just any airline
Help, we need a big strong airline,
HELP!

When things were better -
So much better than today -
We spent like drunken sailors -
Then went on our merry way!
But now those days are gone -
'Cause Delta's leavin' town -
Now we find we're in a bind
Our revenue is down.

So we must decide what we should do
To bring more airlines to D-F-W
We must think of something that's brand new
We need more re-ve-nue!

So we came up with this
Great new incentive plan
We really think that this might work
(At least we hope it can)
Just lease a bunch of gates
The first year's rent is free
Just as long as you agree
To ex-pand ra-pid-ly

Who will be the lucky new airline?
To commit to stay until 2009?
Accept our deal and sign the dotted line?
Oh now who will it be?

We sent our offer out
But no one called us back
The other airlines didn't want
To pick up Delta's slack.
AirTran passsed up the deal
A-me-ri-ca West, too,
Frontier wasn't interested
And neither was jetBlue.

And so in our un-re-lent-less quest,
D-F-Dubya sent the offer to Southwest
They said "Dallas Love Field suits us best.
So we'll stay - we won't go
Thanks, though, But NO - (no).
