Heed our plea

leaders of our fair ci-ty

We’re askin’ you, and doin’ it publicly

Re-place TEP!”

TEP‘s an IOU.

and the label is quite true,

’cause it is owned by rich investors

who profit off me and you!

So, yes indee-eed, those wealthy fe-ew

owe all of us!….. They really do-o!

Now‘s the time!

They’re pol-lu-tin’ on our dime.

We must now save our own health ‘n wealth

Re-place TEP!”

No more franchise for TEP-ee

We want control here locally-y!

A POU

is what we need for me and you,

That‘s a public owned u-til-i-ty.

Re-place TEP!”

A PUBLIC-OWNED POWER UTILITY….. NOW!
