Hello Children of the Van Dammed,

We have gotten some submissions but we really want to encourage people to participate in this one. This is a community group and Trocadero is THEE community band. If you have never done an AOIO, just give it a shot. Do one verse or one chorus if you like. I would like them to feel the love.

Plus a lot of you were too busy on Halloween weekend to get to it (we do love the costumed entries so).

As such we are extending the deadline until this Sunday Night /Monday Afternoon: November 8th/9th

I know this is going to help some people out but I am hoping we will see some people we have never seen before. Lyrics and link to version of the song we are using below:

A Girl Named Tex -Youtube clip with lyrics

"A Girl Named Tex" Lyrics:
Have you heard the story of
A girl named Beth, now known as Tex
Her life's tale is a bloody trail
Her name fits like a glove

Her daddy sighed as she slammed the door
She'd said to him I'm Beth no more
My life's dream is to kill for green
But first I'll join the Corps

Her daddy said, you're just a girl
What makes you think that you won't sink
My name is tex and I'm like a hex
My playground is the world

Basic turned her gun to gold
Soon had it made, she'd hit by trade
Amassing kills, she proved her skills
Make your blood run cold

I once saw texas at a bar
Sippin rye, with some apple pie
With a distant stare, like she didn't care
She said what's with the guitar

I must admit my lips went numb
Some butter bar said, his face all red
She's too good, you're driftin wood
Said boy you'd better run

Texas said sir keep your peace
My heart is free, and so is he
I'll give it to, any man who's true
The safeties were released

He drew before he replied
But Tex was hot, and he was not
He lay dead, While texas bled
Crimson on her side

Yellow of rose of Texas clad in black
Lonely star tattooed upon her back
Double Tex, she'll hit you like a truck
Double Tex and she'll mess you up

Texas said
This could be my last I guess
I gotta go, and now you know
I want a song, to live for long
It's a fair request

Texas made it out I heard
But her one need, I did heed
I think of Beth, while mocking death
Like a mocking bird
