They Will Survive
by Trudi Marrapodi
Imagine Speedy singing it, and enjoy.
(starts out slow)
At first I was afraid,
I was petrified,
Kept thinking they could never win
without me on their side,
And I spent oh so many nights
thinkin' how they were done wrong,
But I grew strong--
Now I'm singing a new song...
(fast disco beat kicks in)
And they'll be back,
At old Salt Lake,
And the judges there who rank 'em
will not make the same mistake,
I should've loaded up that panel,
Should've bribed 'em all with booze,
if I'd know for just one second
that Canadians they'd choose!
Go on now, go!
Walk out that door!
Just turn around, Shae,
'cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the ones
who tried to break me with your whines?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I!
They will survive!
Just as long as I am president,
Italians stay alive!
'Cause they're gonna skate so bold,
And they're gonna get that gold,
They will survive,
They will survive,
Hey hey!
It took all the strength I had
just to form that bloc,
So my Barbi and Maurizio
would be a lock,
And I spent oh so many nights
cutting deals and tapping toes,
I used to sigh,
But now I hold my head up high!
And you'll see them,
As number one,
We'll knock those Frenchies and Canadians
off the podium,
And as for those Lithuanians,
I say they can't even skate,
So we're saving our gold medals
for the team that's really great!
Go on now, go!
Walk out that door!
Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
For the Israelis
I can make a small exception,
But for Barbi and Maurizio
I'll pull off this deception!
Ai yi yi!
They will survive!
And if you don't step aside for them,
I'll make you take a dive!
Got my judges all in line,
So I know that they'll do fine,
They will survive,
They will survive--
Yeah Yeah!!!!
