Lyrics : Hockey, The Greatest Game in the Land!
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!
