(With apologies to Richard Rodgers)
Free flowing barrels
And oil in demand
Production goals exceeded
Great results in hand
Glowing analyst reports
Tied up with strings
These are a few of our favourite things.
Full market access
With pipeline approvals
Shipping agreements signed
‘Cause new customers are crucial
Capturing world prices
In places like Beijing
These are a few of our favourite things.
Employees in big trucks
With clean urine samples
Everyone is safe
And nothing gets trampled
Reliable operations
make us oil sands kings
these are few of our favourite things.
New execs at the table
All are blue suited
It’s not all about growth
When economics are refuted
With a solid strategy
We’re prepared for price swings
These are few of our favourite things.
Responsible development
And climate change rules
Clear regulations
And no tailings pools
More trees for nesting
For our friends with wings
These are few of our favourite things.
Strong vibrant communities
With skilled new recruits
Wearing their hard hats
And steel-toed boots
Jobs that pay well
New energy it brings
These are a few of our favourite things.
When the press calls
When the price tanks
When we’re feeling sad
We simply remember our favorite things
And then we don’t feel so bad.
OR (Alternate ending #1)
When the cold hits
And the buses are late
When we’re feeling sad
We simply remember our favourite things
And then we don’t feel so mad.
OR (Alternate ending #2)
When the hockey stops
And the talks drag on
It makes us all feel so mad
We simply remember our favorite things
And then we will feel sooooooo glad.
Best wishes for the holiday season
