Live from the Qualtech.com Dome
Office Park and Expo Center in
downtown suburban Arlington,
it’s the Texas Rangers song!

The conspiracy began
when the first farmhand
watched JFK on C-Span
from the grassy knoll.
Now the Senators rest in peace in Arlington Cemetary.
the Rangers took their place,
born on third base, such symmetry,
but Arlington TX has no book depository.

Who put the X in Texas?
Who pumps the gas into my Lexus?
Who’s gonna cut my taxes and
defeat the evil axis?
Who put the X in Texas?
Who pumps the gas into my Lexus?
Who’s gonna replace this wildlife sanctuary
with four score TJ Maxxes
?

The "J" had come before,
"Remember the Alamo,"
And wars on drugs and oil
when the lords of the wind did blow.
Now Texeira’s "x" is hushed
where the Ryan express once rushed,
and one Young Lamb is worth
two Rods in the Bush.
And the "J" has passed
from "W" to "X" to why…

Recuerde Tejas
y immigracion
y educacion
ningun Farm Hand se fue detras
Remember Tejas
and immigration
and education
no Farm Hand left behind
