now some men play football
and make it a success
and some men race their motorbikes
while others stick to chess
some even take up dueling
which isn't very nice
but we've got something much more grueling
and we're keeping it on ice
for we've got Hockey Night in Canada
Hockey Night in Canada
that's where all the players and spectators have a ball
and while the voice of Foster Hewitt tells the listeners how we do it
once more for the viewers
let's have another brawl
our hockey sticks are just the length
to split a fella's chin
our skates are nicely shapened
to slash a fella's chin
we cruise across the blue line
and if we've any luck
we'll hit the rival goalie, in the navel, with the puck
when we're on Hockey Night in Canada
Hockey Night in Canada
each Canadian schoolboy
knows that what we're doing's right
for the players they're supporting
teach the youngsters to be sporting
they dont see too much hockey
but we show 'em how to fight
we've got the TV ratings
the best you've ever seen
if war broke out on saturday
we'd keep it off the screen
you can talk about your parties
and political intrigue
we're the only country governed
by the National Hockey League
and so on Hockey Night in Canada
Hockey Night in Canada
selling beer and gasoline's the reason why we're here
and though faced with summer layoffs
when we stagger through the playoffs
keep the band aids ready
we'll be back again next year
