Correction Lyrics Hockey, The Greatest Game in the Land! by Noah Reid

Lyrics

Can I say something?

Really, right now?

After you quit, we had a team meeting

Behind closed doors, in spite of my pleading

When you left the ice on the brink of tears

It broke something in us that had been building for years

We took an objective look at our behaviour

Asked some hard questions, asked who's not in favour

Of the way of the fist as the game's divine right
And proving your manhood with how well you can fight

I swear we channelled the spirit of Oprah in that room

The catharsis was awesome
Especially for this goo-oo-oo-oon

But, Farley, our conclusion never changed the fact

That if you won't dance, we can't watch your back

Though we all agree that pacifism has a place

Just not in hockey 'cause we'll all be disgraced

Actually
I might have another way we can embrace
My name is Farley Gordon and I don't like to fight
My name is Farley Gordon, let's have a clean game tonight

His name is Farley Gordon, he's showin' us a new light
Though we may not all agree that his philosophy is actually right

[]
Get off this ice unless you wanna feel my wrath

Back off and let him try to forge a new hockey path

It's okay I can handle this misplaced aggression
Let's have an on-ice therapy session

[]
Don't think I won't rip off your head

I'd rather hug it out instead

[]
Please
I'm beggin'
This is strippin' all my bravado
Let's end this dispute and I'll gladly let you go

[]
Okay, truce
I won't make you drop the gloves

I sincerely appreciate your outpouring of love
Anyone else care to take a run at me
Be forewarned, I will hug you 'til eternity

1, 2, 3, 4!

Pugilist or pacifist
We can all be fans

Cause hockey, hockey, the greatest game in the land!

Moosejaw to Newfoundland, this we understand

Cause hockey, hockey, the greatest game in the land!

Wickenheiser, Ca**ie Campbell
You can be a woman

Hockey, hockey, the greatest game in the land!

Woo! Yeah!

I swear this kid is goin' down in history

What do I know? No one ever listens to me

At least he's gonna make us a boatload of money

In hockey, hockey, the greatest game in the land!

Look at him skate, he's satisfies all my rages

His name is Farley Gordon and his girlfriend is hot-rageous!

I'm finding this happiness incredibly contagious

In Hockey, hockey, the greatest game in the land!

Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, the greatest game in the land!

His name is Farley Gordon and he's showing us a new light

He's makin' me look like a sieve tonight

His name is Farley Gordon and his skills are outta sight

Hockey, hockey, the greatest game in the land!

Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!

His name is Farley Gordon and he's got mad moves
His name is Farley Gordon, got nothin' left to prove
His name is Farley Gordon and wants us to be better
His name is Farley Gordon, playin' the greatest game in the land!

We are proud Canadians, hockey's in our DNA
We are proud Canadians and we're not afraid to say
We are proud Canadians and we'll always find a way
Playin' hockey hockey
The greatest game in the land!

Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, hockey, hockey!
Woah, Ohoh-oh, the greatest game in the land!
