March In

by Troy Gordon

Tune: Yankee Doodle

It's time again for Tulsa Gridiron
It's time to tell you what is what
The headline makers from throughout the year
Are gonna be put on the spot

We've had our fill of big-shot bosses
We're sick of politicians, too
We've worked all year to earn our pay
Tonight we're gonna play --
Listen to what we're gonna do

It's time to tell about Frank Keating
Recounts and George Bush number two.
Democrats and GOP
Are in our Gridiron story
Ant that isn't all we're gonna do.

Let's Make a Deal

by Tom Campbell and P. Casey Morgan

Tune: If You've Got The Money

If you've got the money, we've got the deal
We'll approve your inspections with no appeal
Overlook the rough spots and do it with zeal.
If you've got the money, buddy, let's make a deal

There ain't no use to tarry, so let's start out right
Split money, oh boy, oh boy. And then spend it right
We'll get rich real easy all the way down the line
If you've got the money, buddy, you'll pass this time

If you took the money, buddy, you'll do the time
The way you treat those old folks is just a crime
We hope some ugly inmate will make you his bride
You took the money, buddy, you do the time.

Run Again Sue

by Randy Krehbiel

Tune: Runaround Sue

Here's our story, it's sad but true
'bout a girl we once knew
Won't give up her mayor's crown
Beat every single guy in town...


We should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave with broken hearts.
Listen people what we're tellin' you
Keep away from Run Again Sue
Each time she seems to get egg on her face
We run for mayor but she wins the race
So if you don't want to cry like we do
Keep away from Run Again Sue

Sometimes we spin her around
But it's sure hard to pin her down
But fellas let us put you wise
Sue keeps beating all us guys
Here's the moral of the story
from some guys who know
You think you'll beat her but it won't be so
Ask any of us that she ran through
Oh please don't run again Sue.

Countin' on Tulsa Time

by Tom Campbell

Song: Tulsa Time

Must catch O-K City.
To fail would be a pity
and we could be in a bind

We're losin' out on tourist dollars.
You can hear the hotel hollers.
Tulsa time can make thing fine.

Some place for twenty thousand.
Or we could be an island.
We just have to win the vote this time.

Vote yes-yes as you know you should.
Help our city feel really good.
And everything will turn out fine.

(chorus)

Counting' on Tulsa Time. Countin' on Tulsa Time.
As you know, we've been through it.
This time, we'll surely do it.
Countin' on Tulsa Time.

Cuz for sure we are not fooling.
It's time for real strong rulin'.
Or Tulsa will drop far behind

We'll have a walkway to the River. Trolley to make you quiver.
Votin' no would be a crime.
Big rock stars won't pass us by.
In-Sync just might stop by
So we must vote in a tax this time.

Our city must keep even. Or there will be lots of grievin'
Come on, let's all vote for Tulsa Time.

Cool, Clear Water

by Tom Campbell

Tune: Cool, Clear Water

All day spent in this barren place
Without the taste of water - cool, clear water

My friends and I with throats parched dry
And souls that call for water - cool, clear water
Keep a movin- on, friends
Don't give in to 'em, friends
In dry-dock until the end
So we must take a stand for water

Oh, friends, can you see a big green tree
Where the water runs free ... and it's waiting there for you and me.

Guv'nor

by D.J. Morrow Ingram

Tune: Sisters

Guv'nor, Guv'nor
Which of us in going to run for Guv'Nor?
Nothing says the Guv'nor has to be a sir
I'm going to keep my eye on her!

Leading, our party
We need someone big and strong and hearty!
All he ever really did was play football;
Her strenght is shopping at the mall!
I'm no poll watcher, don't tell whoppers
I'm pure as the driven snow
I proved I have power, the Senators cower
When Frank's gone, I run the show, ha-ha

Don't think there is much to choose between us
In O-K City Mayor Humphrey things that he will win
Lord hel the mister who turns me into a has-been!
Guv'nor! Guvnor!
Don't turn me into a has-been!

Tulsa Time Victory March

by Tom Campbell

Song: Notre Dame Victory March

Cheer, cheer we have won the game
Tulsa Time is right down the drain
Send the No Vote cheer on high - We'll stop you ev-ry time you try
What though the odds be great or small
Penny pinchers will win over all
While we proud-ly stand up -
For classic negativity.

I Can't Go for Gas

by Mimi Haig

Tune: I can't Go for That

Easy ready willing overpriced
When does it stop
Where do you dare me to pump this time
They got the octane now they want my dough
Don't even think about it say No Go

Now I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do almost anything that you want me to
But I can't go for gas
No can do
I can't go for paying twice the price
I can't go for just extending my credit line
Use the mid-grade now they want my soul
Oo forget about it, say No Go

Yeah, I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do almost anything that you want me to
But I can't go for gas
No can do.

Friends in Super Places

by Jeff Buckley

Tune: Friends in Low Places

Blame it all on my roots
My mask, hat, and boots
From a planet far, far away.
Singing each night
In the spotlight
A superhero by day
And I see your surprise
Maybe I should wear tights
To look more the role that I play
But tights, they don't fit
With a gut big as this
So jeans will have to be okay.
