My Hockey Mom (Tribute)

When I was young, I do recall We would go to school, in the early fall But on the days, when there was no school We'd learned to play, by a different rule Get out of that bed, you sleepy head My hockey mom would say Grab your skates, and don't be late There's a hockey game today! And poor old dad, was feeling bad Because he couldn't come He'd have to go to work And so I took my orders from My Hockey Mom My Hockey Mom She was my chum My Hockey Mom Then we drove, to the rink in town And I'd hit the ice, by falling down Then I'd score, for the other team And you could hear my mom stand up and scream Get off of that ice, I told you twice To skate the other way Every year she'd bent my ear Until I learned play And when my stick, got pretty quick And the puck to me would come Each time I scored, I knew for sure Where the loudest cheer was from My Hockey Mom My Hockey Mom My day will come My Hockey Mom Then one day, a stranger came From far away, and he took my name And very soon, for the N.H.L. I came to play, and mom came to yell Get on that puck, and stir things up Show some winning pride And every time, she said that line I'd bang that puck inside And here's my dad, all mister Glad He knew this night would come We're all lined up, for the Stanley Cup And the tears are rolling from My Hockey Mom My Hockey Mom Ain't she the plum? My Hockey Mom My Hockey Mom Forever Young My Hokey Mom
