"This Is The Moment"
by PegLewis

with words to suit the occasion had Todd Eldredge skated this program
at 1998 Skate America in Detroit (wishful thinking!)

(to the tune of "This Is The Moment")

This is the moment!
This is the day
When I test resolve and balls
of Yous-Eff-Ess-Ay!
Ev'ry decision, I have made-ever;
Is tested in this way,
In this ol' show- today!

This is the moment,
this is the time;
when Don Cinquata says that I oughtta
fall in line.
Give me this moment,
this precious chance
to help my skating club,
not turn my back, a snub!

This is the moment!
when all I've done,
all of the training,
spinning and leaping, become fun!
This is just play,
see us sparkle and shine.
When all the pressure,
unwinds!

For all these years,
I've called this club my own;
and now the time has come,
to skate an exhibition
for my "home"!

This is the moment!
My final test!
I was invited
not to be cited
by the Pest!
I won't back down,
That guy's got gall!
This is the moment,
the sweetest moment
of them all.

This is the moment!
Damn all the prose!
This day or never, I sit forever
with the pros!
When I look back,
I will always recall;
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
of them all!
