The South Metro Denver Chamber Ensemble Introduced Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper by song at the 25th Annual Economic Forecast Breakfast held December 15, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency DTC.

"Hickenlooper" sung to the melody of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"
Lyrics by Brian Vogt

He was a young geologist,
Who came out west to do his best,
But oil and gas soon began imploding.
He set about to think, to shift,
What could he love? What could he lift?
Then it hit him, he could be a brew pub king!

A brew pub king, a brew pub king,
A brew pub king, a brew pub king

His success was grand, he changed downtown,
But before long, he looked around,
He decided to become the City's Mayor.
His campaign had a funny streak,
He hit his stride, he reached his peak,
And then he heard his honor Hickenlooper!

Hickenlooper, Hickenlooper,
Hickenlooper, Hickenlooper

Once again he did it all,
He hit his stride, he walked the hall
He saw the gleaming gold across the park.
He ran the race, he passed the test.
With weak opponents he was blessed.
To lead the State he'd truly make his mark!

He's the guv nor, Hickenlooper
He's the guv nor, Hickenlooper

(Shift to music of Handel's Messiah - Hallelujah Chorus...)
He shall fix all the roads
And, of course, he'll build a new space port
And then there's jobs, and then there's jobs

And he shall work for new jobs creation... (repeat)
And he shall work for new jobs creation, bottom up

For new jobs, for new jobs
Hickenlooper Hickenlooper, the Gov'nor
For new jobs, for new jobs
Hickenlooper Hickenlooper, bottom up
For new jobs, for new jobs
Hickenlooper Hickenlooper, the Gov'nor
For new jobs, for new jobs
Hickenlooper Hickenlooper, bottom up
For new jobs, for new jobs
Hickenlooper Hickenlooper, the Gov'nor
The former brewpub king

And he shall work, and he shall work for new jobs creation... (repeat)

Hickenlooper Hickenlooper
And he shall work for new jobs creation
Governor, he's the Gov'nor
Governor, he's the Gov'nor
And he shall work for new jobs creation
