IT'S A MISTAKE
by Trudi Marrapodi
(to song of the same title by Men at Work)
Just end the conference and get away,
The press are cockin' up their guns,
Tell us, Cinquanta, is it clean-up time?
If it is, can we all come?
Don't think that we don't know,
Don't think that we're not trying,
Don't say, "They skate too slow!"
We'll still keep after-crying,
Saying...
"It's a mistake, it's a mistake!
It's a mistake, it's a mistake!"
After the outrage has died away,
And all the media have their fun,
No surface noise now--not much to say?
"We've got the bad guys on the run!"
Don't try to say you're sorry,
Don't say we're ignorant scum,
They've interviewed old skaters,
Fans aren't the only ones,
Saying...
"It's a mistake, it's a mistake!
It's a mistake, it's a mistake!"
Tell us, Cinquanta, what do you think?
'Cause we know you love all that power!
Out of Olympics--are we on the brink?
We wish you'd just throw in the towel!
We'll not fade out too soon,
We saw their finest hour,
Whistle that "Love Story" tune,
We'll send a card and flower,
Saying...
"It's a mistake, it's a mistake,
It's a mistake, it's a mistake!"
