I've been working some more on my Terri song. Here's a draft so far:
[Bird in a Gilded Cage -- Use verse music on verses and first 6 lines of chorus; end chorus with chorus music.  Words connected by underscores should be sung together quickly.]

VERSE 1:
Theresa Marie was a beautiful girl.
With a smile that could light up the room.
Her fate, alas, thanks to three evil men,
now seems to hold naught but doom.
Her husband, it seems, now wants her dead--
wants to marry another wife.
Why can't he just see, Terri ought to be free.
She and he could get on with life.

CHORUS:
She's kept like a bird in a barren cage.
'Cos her husband keeps it bare.
No pictures, no music, no pets, no TV.
Her life is quite lonely there.
Though Terri is loved by her family
and thousands spread coast to coast.
Though_her life has been sold for corrupt men's gold
she refuses to give up the ghost.

VERSE 2:
So what shall become of Michael's bird?
Will_he starve her as he intends?
Or will she be rescued by those far and wide,
who'd_be honored to be her friends?
The future right now, is hard to see.
Though_a showdown is coming nigh.
Will forces of life trump old judge who says:
"The law of_the_case_is_that she must die"?

REPEAT CHORUS
