No more country songs, I promise. GOODBYE, KLEIST ("Goodbye, Earl", by The Dixie Chicks) Maryanne and Wanda were the best of friends, all through their high school days, both members of the quiz bowl club, travellin' the USA. After graduation they went out, a college team them enticed, Then they went to their first tourney, and all they found was Kleist. Well it was two rounds after they'd started that they started feelin' abused, Chicago and Maryland just kicked their tushies, and their tossup chances were few. Well they lost a few more and headed for lunch, got ACF outta their hair, But back at the hall a dead German was waiting, and they wanted outta there. The tourney was over, and they started crying, they barely just made their flight. They held each other's hand, they worked out a plan, it didn't take them long to decide, That Kleist had to die.... Goodbye, Kleist We need some ease, that's fine with me, Kleist, We're not weak - we don't need a peep, Kleist, Ain't it bad, not being in Ann Arbor, Kleist? They had a tourney that was comin' on up, and these two ladies, well they did know, That if you're crazy enough to be running things, you decide what can go. Well the tourney came on and all the questions were normal, and everybody had a ball, And so it turns out he was a missing German who nobody missed at all. So the gals got a hand for takin' a stand, they crashed then they dined, It was liked by Johnny Nam, and baby, wham! they had just done what's right. Cause Kleist had to die... Goodbye, Kleist. We need a break... We won't give you a fair shake, Kleist. Other subjects are bunched, and you're just bunk, Kleist. Is that alright? Good! Lets go for a ride, Kleist. Hey! Well, hey hey hey! Aww hey hey hey! Well, hey hey hey ALL BECAUSE THEY KNEW JUST ENOUGH ("All Because Two People Fell In Love", by Brad Paisley) A team is born in the middle of the night in a crowded dorm room, The members go off, get crushed and cry, fail a test the next afternoon. Before you know it, they're taking others to school in their own cool way, Their best player is a PhD, and she knows all sorts of things. Win a regional prize and touch about ten different lives, A few tournaments they all have won, It's funny when you think about the reason the team is alive, All because they knew just enough. Right now at an old building down by College Creek You'll find chocolate, Jolt cola and Krispy Kreme. The entire qb team is lined up, they've all made this date, They know that money from this can make them the best in their state. Well Stanely Wilson says that fifteen months ago he knew, That the Fightin' Goldfish were the one; Now twenty players practice even into June, Just to make sure they know enough. (First Chorus) With their knowledge all connected, They will never we dejected, Know all that is, will be, or ever was, Every single buzz they make, Every trophy that they take, All because they want to know enough. Well, a few years have passed and what did we just see, But a little team grow as feared as can be. And in a little room right off of State College Avenue, With a whole lotta help from up above, They played and won it all, it was overdue, All because they knew just enough. Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected, With their knowledge all connected, They'll know all that is, will be, or ever was, I'm glad us our fossil could not resist, And for the super freshman's butt we kissed, All to make sure we knew enough. You know to me it's all so clear, Our team is simply here Just because we wanted to know enough. A team is born in the middle of the night in a crowded dorm room, The members go off, get crushed and cry, fail a test the next afternoon...
