For the record, use what you want - permission to
use my voice is denied, which is probably a very good
thing.

Apologies in advance for "I'm Already There", which I only
heard once when I really should have paid more
attention to packing.

WE'VE ALREADY WON
("I'm
Already There", by Lonestar)

They were playin' on
the road,
In a lonely, cold classroom.
Just to
hear the words
"For ten points this time",
When
they heard the sound
Of crying in the
background,
They had to steady themselves, a glint in their
eyes.
Then a voice came all alone,
Said "we lost, we're
going home"
And they said the first thing that came
to their mind.

We've already won,
Take a
look around,
Michigan just lost a pair,
Berkeley
is in the ground.
Chicago's facin' a heavy
wind,
Harvard now is at their end,
My friends, we are the
one,
Yes, we've already won.

All the others started
to moan,
Said next time we really will win.
We
said "Not with our kids",
They'll be
alright.
And we put the trophy in our arms.
Held it up in
full view,
And saw the gold hit the autumn
light.
We then kissed it with our lips,
Held it with our
fingertips,
Held it to the light and closed our eyes.

We've
already won.
Yell and make a sound.
We buzz and
know all art,
Every other team now does
frown,
Know all of Jupiter's kin,
Other teams we can
rend
And kiss this trophy before the sun,
Yes, we've
already won.

We fought last night at
K-Mart,
But we will stay true,
It's our team's special
art.
We've already won,
Take a look around, 
Michigan
just lost a pair,
Berkeley is in the
ground.
Chicago's facin' a heavy wind,
Harvard now is at their
end,
And kiss this trophy before the sun,
Yes, we've
already won.
Yes, we've already
won. 

WHEN
SOMEONE PLAYS WITH YOU
("When Somebody Loves You", by
Alan Jackson)

When your team is losing every
second,
The day is so long,
When it is just you, you buzz
til you're blue,
Those buzzer rocks nothing can
do.

But when someone plays with you,
There's nothing
you can't do.
When someone plays with you,
Even
Penn Bowl you can do.
When someone plays with
you,
The way I play with you.

Then it's late, and
time to go,
You record, my friend, well it was
low,
You head off in the darkness, all alone.
Off to
your dorm room, call someone on the phone.

But
when someone plays with you,
The night just don't
seem blue,
When someone plays with you
Dinner's
too quickly through
When someone plays with
you,
The way I play with you. 

So let's put aside
our foolish pride, 
Aim our scoring average a
little low.
We both agree we're just no good,
At
playin' on our own.

'Cause when someone plays with
you,
There's nothing you can't do.
When somebody plays with
you,
You can win a tourney or two,
When someone plays
with you,
The way I play with you.
The way I
play with you. 
The way I play with you.
