"Springtime for SkateFAIR"
by Trudi Marrapodi
[recited]
Figure skating was having trouble,
What a sad, sad story.
Because its greedy president
had destroyed its former glory.
[singing]
Oh, tell us it's not true!
But what can one fan do?
We looked around, and then we found
the man we wanted to boo...
And...
now...
it's ...
Springtime for SkateFAIR in Washington,
Ice fans are happy and gay.
We're marching against secret judging schemes,
And G-men are interrupting crooked judges' dreams!
Springtime for skate-fans in Washington,
Winter for Speedy and Fredi.
Springtime for skate-fans in Washington,
Come on, SkateFAIR, get your protest ready!...
(dance break)
[Skating fan shouts:]
I came from Uzbekistan,
Just to boo the Speedy-Man!
[Skating fan shouts:]
We're determined, we're not budging--
come and protest secret judging!
Springtime for SkateFAIR in Washington,
[Shouts: "NO SECRET JUDGING!"]
Marching's the new step today,
[Shouts: "BAN CHEATERS FOR LIFE!"]
Speedy's feeling unsure of his reign again,
[Speedy: "I have no fear of the WSF!"]
Journalists are giving him a pain again!
Springtime for SkateFAIR in Washington,
Fan pride is blooming once more!
[Speedy: "This is completely inappropriate!"]
Springtime for SkateFAIR in Washington,
Means ... that ... for a whole week we forgot about...
...We had to forget about...You know we forgot about...the WAR!
