You and I, we make no claim To be in the hockey hall of fame
We don't play in a career league We play in a beer league
First the hockey, then the beer It's a great tradition here
Sweaty bodies, smelling gear First the hockey, then the beer
We are dedicated We never count the cost
We practice today at lunchtime And we lost
Three periods of hockey That can lead to total dehydration
That's why every player needs Beer to mouth resuscitation
First the hockey, then the beer It's a great tradition here
Sweaty bodies, smelling gear First the hockey, then the beer
Tell you about our team Our center, he's off center
Especially his aim Sometimes he likes to fake a shot
Mostly he fakes the whole darn game Then he complains that the line he's on
Is like one of them helicopter things And it ain't because it flies
But because it seems to have no wings Our goalie, he acts like he's holy
You think he had been chosen It's like he walked on water
Well he does, but that's cause it's frozen Our defense, they're big guys
They really get around They're so big that when they skate backwards
I swear you can hear this sound First the hockey, then the beer
It's a great tradition here Sweaty bodies, smelling gear
First the hockey, then the beer Beer and hockey, beer and hockey
Go together like a horse and jockey Father said to mother
You can't have one without the other
I'll locker them after a game It's full of cheer and laughter
We think hockey's a religion And we believe in a beer after
Yeah, we don't care who won the game That's not important here
We don't ask who scored the goals We say who brought the beer
First the hockey, then the beer It's a great tradition here
Sweaty bodies, smelling gear First the hockey, then the beer
Thank you
