Tune - Here Comes Santa Claus

(Sung by Southwest to Kansas City & St. Louis)

(Instrumental intro)

Here comes Southwest
One more state - hey!
Missouri's exempt from Wright!
Hello, Kansas City -
Hello, St. Louis
We're addin' brand new flights
Fares are falling
Friends are calling
All is merry and bright
Make reservations &
Pack your bags 'cause
Now the price is right

Here comes Southwest
From Love Field now,
With low fares for you
On-time departures -
Fast, friendly service
That's just what we do
People going
On those Boeings
That are Canyon Blue
Fly Southwest
And be our guest
Let us take care of you.

AA says they'll
Go to Love Field
{Wish they'd stay away)
They don't care if they
Lose a lot of money
They'll make Southwest pay
American knows
They hold us hostage
So they'll put up a fight
They need higher fares
In Dallas - Ft. Worth
That's why AA loves Wright

Kansas City
And St. Louis
Four non-stops a day
Love won't gouge you
We charge prices
You can afford to pay
All that money you'll be saving
Oh what a beautiful sight
Nine states down
Forty-one to go
We'll keep on fightin' (on fightin') Wright

(Keep on fightin' Wright)

(yeah!)

Tune - 9 to 5
Dolly Parton

(Sung by Stop and Think.org)

(Instrumental intro)

Causin' more delay
With the same old fears
Been playin' this game
For twenty-seven years
By now we know just
What we have to do

Argue all the same points
Do it all again - 'cause
That's the only way
We're ever gonna win
So we can save poor
D-F-W

Buyin' - time's our plan
Stallin's what it's all about, now
We must - spread some more
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, now
Let's wait - ten more years
See, we really mustn't hurry
Lest the businesses,
Families & home-owners worry

Stop and Think
'Bout the puppies and the kitties
And the - quality
Of life in both our cities
It's the - same old stuff
That we've told you all along, now
All those tired old reasons
Why we don't think Wright is wrong, now

(instrumental bridge)

Gettin' rid of Wright
Is not the solution
Think of all that
Noise and pollution
More traffic cruisin'
Through your neighborhood

Jobs gone - now your
Nightmare's real
We know best
A deal is a deal
See? Gettin' rid of Wright
Won't be so good

So just - Stop and Think
It's about the ones you love, now
Do you - really want
More jet airplanes up above, now?
Belchin' - smoke and noise
Makin' traffic and congestion?
Is it dangerous
To your family -
That's the question

So Southwest
Should just fly from D-F-Dubya
Keep your - family safe!
They're the ones who truly love ya!
In an - accident
An airplane might crash and kill 'em
We must k-e-e-p the W-r-i-g-h-t Amendment
(Think about the children!)

Tune - Behind Closed Doors
Charlie Rich

(Instrumental intro)

Been arguin' for years
But one thing is perfectly clear
The Wright Amendment's days - are numbered
The end is surely near
So now it's time to talk
And work out a fair compromise
But to ex-clude the public?
We're angry and shocked and surprised

'Cause when you get behind closed doors
To ne-go-ti-ate & de-cide
Remember who you re-pre-sent
Listen up, guys - now's not the time to hide!

To come up with a plan
Upon which we all can agree
That's best for both airports
And our regions' e-co-no-my
A plan we can live with
And one where both cities can succeed
You don't hold secret meetings
When public input's what you need

And when you get behind closed doors
We get paranoid, you see
What is all the whisperin' for? - (Hey)
There's no need for all this secrecy.

(Instrumental bridge)

So hear us when we say
There's more than one point of view
You've heard from the others
Now it's time that you heard from us too,
We're Friends of Love Field and
There's just so much we have to say
So why not open your doors -
Together, we'll both find a way

So why not open up those doors!
There's no need to run and hide
We can share our thoughts with y-o-u!
So listen, Council - You need to hear both sides.

(Don't run and hide)

Tune - Respect
Aretha Franklin

(Sung by AA and Southwest)

(Instrumental intro)

(oo) - If Love Field opens
(oo) - To long-haul flights
(oo) - We'll need more gates
(oo) - We'll scream and fight
(oo) - We plan to get our way -
Because our name's AA

You really made us mad
Now we're declarin' war
So don't you try and mess with us
We've played this game before

(oo) - Baby you've got
(oo) - What we need
(oo) - We want more gates
(oo) - And we'll succeed
(oo) - We always get our way
Because our name's AA!

We'll take away your gates
We'll tell 'em we need more
And don't think we won't try it
'Cause we've pulled this stunt before

(oo) - So Stop and Think, now
(oo) - Just understand
(oo) - If Wright is ended
(oo) - The master plan
(oo) - Is null and void we say
Because our name's AA.

You dared to challenge Wright
Re-alities are stark
We hope you like more airplanes
Flyin' over Highland Park

What you - gonna do - N-O-O-O-W?

Tune - You Are So Beautiful To Me
(Joe Cocker)

(Sung to Dallas Mayor Laura Miller)
