The file is not modem-friendly at about 4MB, but personally I think it is worth the download. --MP

The Hockey Game

[MP3 AUDIO]

I was at the hockey game
It was us against the USA
Fifty years to the day
Since we last won the hockey game

Senses palpitating,
Bodies gravitating,
Beer glasses breaking
And people celebrating.

[chorus]
USA, USA, USA, Ha ha ha ha
USA, USA, USA, The joke’s on you.

They would show the Great One
Never changing his expression
That somber complexion
Improved when our team won.

You’ll say you don’t care at all.
“Any real sport has a ball.
Makes me need a Tylenol.
It moves too fast and the puck’s too small.”

USA, USA, USA, Ha ha ha ha
USA, USA, USA, The joke’s on you
USA, USA, USA, USA
USA, USA, USA, USA
USA, USA, USA, USA

At the end of the hockey game,
Everybody got up and sang
Oh Canada,
Our home and native land

USA, USA, USA, Ha ha ha ha
USA, USA, USA, The joke’s on you.
