Hockey Song 2003 Lyrics & Chords By Corb Lund

(Stompin' Tom Connors)

Hello out there
we're on the air
its hockey night tonight
the tension grows and the whistle blows
and the puck goes down the ice.
the goalie jumps and the players bump
and the fans all go insane
someone roars and Bobby scores
at the good old hockey game.

ohhh
the good old hockey game is the best game you can name
and the best game you can name is the good old hockey game.

"2nd period"

well players dash their skates aflash
the Oilers trail behind.
they grab the puck and go bursting up
and they're down across the line
they storm the crease like bumble bees
and travel like a burning flame
see them slide the puck inside
she's a one-one hockey game.

ohhh
the good old hockey game is the best game you can name
and the best game you can name is the good old hockey game.

"okay 3rd period. Last game of the division playoffs, Dallas at Edmonton, Skyreach Center, cheap beer night."

Well take me where the hockey players face off down the rink
and the Stanley Cup is all filled up for the champs who win the drink.
With the final flick of a hockey stick and one gigantic scream
the puck is in, and Edmonton wins the good old hockey game.

the good old hockey game is the best game you can name
and the best game you can name is the good old hockey game.

Well goodness me Fox Tv where did you get your sight?
Can't you keep track, the puck is black
thats why the ice is white
And that big red glare, you see up there
well we've seen that for years
for heavens sakes all it takes
is a couple of dozen beers.

the good old hockey game is the best game you can name
and the best game you can name is the good old hockey game.
