The Nominations Committee
Sung to the tune of "The Wells Fargo Wagon"
by Meredith Willson
New lyrics by Ed Steffes
The Nominations Committee is a comin' down the street
I hope they're not after me
The Nominations Committee is a comin' down the street
They're aiming to induct a new draftee
I hope that anyone they ask is more than willing
to pitch right in and boost our morale
'Cause serving on the Board is really thrilling
I've heard it's almost as exciting as a root canal!
The Nominations Committee is a comin' now
I don't know how I can ever wait to see
I could be Treasurer, Vice President, or if I am chosen
Then I could be (yes you could be, yes you're right you surely could be)
Your new leader (yes, our fearless UU leader)
No, not me!
The Nominations Committee is a comin' down the street
Which one of us will be cursed?
The Nominations Committee is a comin' down the street
Dick Cheney couldn't scare us any worse
I hear they've found an easier way to hold elections
To get a slate they needn't think twice
They've simplified their candidate selections
They just assign us all a number and then roll the dice!
The Nominations Committee is a comin' now
I think they're looking my way or so it seems
I could be Treasurer, Vice President, or if I am chosen
Then I could be (yes you could be, yes you're right you surely could be)
Your new leader (yes our fearless UU leader)
In your dreams!
