I tell you, they breed like Flemish Flamenco dancers...<br />

</p><p> </p><p>I love the hockey song!</p><p> </p>
<h4>
Hello out there, we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight
<br />
Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice
<br />
The goalie jumps and the players bump and the fans all go insane
<br />
Someone roars, "Bobby scores!", at the good old hockey game
<p>
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
<br />
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
</p><p>
Second period....
</p><p>
Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind
<br />
But they grab the puck and go bursting up, and they're down across the line
<br />
They storm the crease, like bumblebees! They travel like a burning flame
<br />
We see them slide, the puck inside, it's a one-one hockey game
</p><p>
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
<br />
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
</p><p>
Third period....
</p><p>
Last game of the playoffs, Chicago and Montreal...
<br />
Fan in audience: Toronto!
<br />
Stompin' Tom: No, they were out of the playoffs this year.
</p><p>
Take me where, hockey players, face off down the rink
<br />
And the Stanley cup is all filled up for the champs who win the drink
<br />
Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and one gigantic scream
<br />
"The puck is in! The Canadiens win!" the good old hockey game
</p><p>
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
<br />
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
</p><p>
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
<br />
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
</p></h4>
