Subject: Update to Trudi's I Will Survive Parody

I Will Survive
by Icedncer34


Ok, I thought Trudi's parody version was so good that we needed an updated Post-Olympics version. So here it is- enjoy.

First I was afraid
But not petrified
Knew Babs and Mauri could still win since I was on their side
They finished third in the compulsories and third in the OD
To win the gold, now they just had to win the free

But Mauri fell
Splat on his face
And yet I still thought that my judging bloc would put them in first place
They were sad and they were angry, they were full of pain and sorrow
As I valiantly tried to signal Balkov and Zuccaro

All right now go!
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause we don't need you anymore
Weren't you the ones who promised us 5.9, 5.9
Do you think we're stupid
Do you think we can't see through your lies
Oh no not I!
We will survive!
Oh and while I run the ISU the scandals I'll deny!
Had my judges been in line, Babs and Mauri would be fine
But we'll survive- we will survive, hey hey!

It took all the strength I had, not to lose my cool
I worked so hard to bloc the judges, but I'm such a fool
I overlooked one major issue and my planning wasn't great
I just forgot
That Mauri doesn't really skate!
Now they'll be fourth! Not number one!
I'll shoot myself if Shae and Vic are on that podium.
Damn these judges, I won't have this while I run the ISU
But the IOC's already on my ass, what can I do?

Go on now go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around, Jacques!
Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who tried to make me change my mind
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I! I will survive!
Oh as long as I am president the cheaters stay alive!
I know my team deserves to win, 'cause Barbi's better than Shae-Lynn
But we'll survive- we will survive hey hey!

There was no way in the world, that my team could win
The French were first and skating now were the Canadians
They were fighting for that medal, there was nothing I could do
But suddenly my prayers were answered then as Shae and Vic fell too!

All right now go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now! Cause you're not welcome anymore!
In Nagano you tried to break me with your whines
But I didn't crumble
Thank God, you can't blame me this time
It was not I! We will survive!
Oh as long as the Italians get a medal I'll be fine
France, Russia and Italy will be placed one two and three
So we survived, yes we survived hey, hey!
