Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello out there, we're on the air, it's Hockey Night tonight
Tension grows, 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, Bobby scores, at the good old hockey game
[Chorus]
Oh, 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
[Bridge]
Second period
[Verse 2]
Where players dash with skates a-flash, the home team trails behind
But they grab the puck and go bursting up
And they're down across the line
They storm the crease like bumble bees
They travel like a burning flame
We see them slide the puck inside, it's a one-one hockey game
[Chorus]
Oh, 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
[Bridge]
Third period, last game in the playoffs too
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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
Now the final flick of a hockey stick and the one gigantic scream
The puck is in, the home team wins the good old hockey game
[Chorus]
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
Oh, 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
