Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song) |
He was born i Big Beaver by the borderline |
he started playing by the time he was nine. |
His dad tog the hose and froze the back yard |
little Buddy dreamed he was 'Rocket' Richard. |
He grew up big and he grew up tall |
he saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks |
but he wasn’t that good with the puck. |
Buddy’s real talent was beatin' people up |
his heart wasn’t in but the crowd had ate it up. |
Through peewees and juniors and midgets and mice |
he must have racked up more than three hundered fights. |
There were a scout from the Flames came down to Saskatoon |
said there’s allways room on a team for a goon |
son we’ve allways got room for a goon. |
There were Swedes to the left of him, |
Russians to the right, a Czech at blue line looking for a fight. |
Brains over brawn that might work for you. |
But what’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
Hit Somebody! |
What’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit Somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
Hit somebody was what the crowd roard |
when Buddy the goon came over the boards. |
Coach, he’d said, I want to score goals. |
The coach said; |
Buddy remember your role! |
The fast guys get paid, they shoot and they score |
protect them Buddy, that’s what you’re here for. |
Protection — is what your here for |
Protection — it’s the stars who score |
Protection — go and kick somebody’s ass |
Protection — don’t put the biscuit in the basket |
just hit somebody rang in his ears |
blood on the ice ran down through the gears. |
The king of the goons with a box for a throne |
a thousand stiches and broken bones. |
He never lost a fight on his ice he patrol. |
But deep inside Buddy, whom may dreamed of a goal |
he just wanted one damn goal. |
There were Swedes at the blue line |
Finns at the red, |
a Russian with a stick heading straight for his head. |
Brains over brawn, that might work for you. |
But what’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
Hit Somebody! |
What’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit Somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
In his final season on his final night |
Buddy and a Finn goon where pegged for a fight. |
Thirty seceonds left when the puck took a roll |
and suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal. |
The golie commited, but he picked his spot. |
Twenty years of waiting went in to that shot. |
The fans jumped up and the Finn jumped too |
cold caught Buddy on his follow thorugh. |
The big man crumbled but he fell all right |
'cause the last thing he saw was the flashing red light. |
He saw that heavenly light. |
There were Swedes to the left of him, |
Russians to the right, a Czech at blue line looking for a fight. |
Take care of yor teeth, that might work for you. |
But what’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
Hit somebody! |
What’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
Hit somebody! |
But what’s a canadien farm boy to do? |
Hit somebody! |
What else can a farm boy from Canada do? |
