lyrics

A Game Goin' On

There's hockey on TV it's Saturday night
At the rink across the road they play under the lights
Come winter time it's the game that we love
I just play for fun but there's hockey in my blood

Down to the rink to the pond to the river
There's a game goin' on goin' on forever

With shovels in hand we come from all around
On a bright and windless day when the snow stops coming down
Let's all meet by the lake at the end of the town
Where the anthem that plays is that shovel scrapin' sound

Down to the rink to the pond to the river
There's a game goin' on goin' on forever
Down to the rink to the pond to the river
There's a game goin' on goin' on forever

And whoever shows up that's who gets to play
Let's divy them up in the usual way
All sticks in the middle then each one to an end
To get a goal shoot the puck between the frozen boots let this game begin

The blue line's a thin line of dried yellow grass
The bull rush defenceman's in the way of the pass
Some hardly skate some skate just like the wind
Let's play until it's dark 'til we have to go back in

Down to the rink to the pond to the river
There's a game goin' on goin' on forever
Down to the rink to the pond to the river
There's a game goin' on goin' on forever
Down to the rink to the pond to the river
There's a game goin' on goin' on forever

There's hockey on TV it's Saturday night
