Tune - I Will Survive
Gloria Gaynor
The Boys -- they got together
They all came up with a plan
That inhibits competition
And we still don't understand
Just what it was
These guys were thinkin'
Then again -- maybe we do
Those Texas boys,
All must be drinkin'
Out at D - F - W!
We want to say
This plan won't fly
So now we write you
Congress -- pleadin'
'Cause right now --
It's do or die
This plan is bad! -
It's really awful!
It's a stinkn' travesty!
We hope that Congress
Will just ditch it all
And simply Set Love Fee
Y'all best get real!
This "Backroom Deal"
It shuts out all the
Other com-pe-ti-tion
Over at Love Field
It locks up far too many gates
We feel -- but wait there's even more
There'll be no new states
For eight more years
Our jaws -- they hit the floor!
This plan won't fly
No, there's no way
We'll make our voices heard by
All of Congress and the FAA
North Texas needs more competition
So that we can get low fares
But right now -- they're way too high
They're something "$pecial in the air."
( A - A! )
[Instrumental Interlude]
Well, American's quite happy
'Cause they'll keep the status quo
And until more states are added
There's few places we can grow
And South-west is pleased as punch
Yes -- they're as happy as can be
'Cause with 16 gates
They get to keep
Their Love monopoly
So we must say...
(And this sounds crude)
This plan, it sucks for other airlines
And consumers -- they got screwed
Who cares if Mr. Arpey likes it?
Jeffrey Fegan or Ron Ricks?
We're sick and tired of all these
Other Texas airlines' dirty tricks
And they've got help
From all their friends
You politicians in DC
When will cor-rup-tion ever end?
So before y'all join together
And enact this thing as law
You're gonna hear from us
We'll raise a fuss
Ne-go-ti-ate it all!
We wrote today
To simply say
We think this plan's all wrong
It takes too long
And takes more gates away
.
But we need a re-so-lu-tion
Congress -- pass it if you must
But before you do
There's just a few
Things we'd like to adjust
(Just for starters . . .)
We need more gates
Here's what you do
Just scratch that foolish 20-gate plan
And go back to 32
We'd like to see a faster phase-out
And there's one more little thing
We all -- want the rights --
On foreign flights --
To have through-ticketing
Well, there you go!
So know you know
How we others feel
About this deal
We think it really blows!
Yet, we have to say
We hope and pray
That you all pass this law --
We can finally end this
Con-tro-ver-sy -- Now!
Once and for a-a-a-l-l-l-l-l . . .
Once And For All!
(set - love - free)
