It’s Hockey Night in Canada
Leafs losing, Habs on a roll.
Could be ’64, could be today
Hockey is engraved on our soul
The nation is enthralled
It’s the high church of Saturday Night
Bob Cole intones the blessing
Nothing stops the fun but the fights
You know it’s all happening for sure when
Bob says “It’s all happening here”
Bob says “It’s all happening here”
Even better, when he says “Oh Baby!”
Everyone wins a beer
The best is an Original Six game
Tied, halfway into the third
Every power play is a potential game ender
The guy in the box is a turd
Shootouts can be satisfying
If they go on and on
But since they ruled out the dipsy doodle,
The magic seems to be gone
Overtime is fun,
but an empty net is best
Why wait until a minute to go
When you can do a test
Pull your goalie at 3 minutes
The way Patrick Roy likes to do
See the odds work in your favour
You could score one, maybe two
It’s Hockey Night in Canada
Leafs losing, Habs on a roll.
Could be ’64, could be today
Hockey is engraved on our soul
