Story Behind the Song
Pick-up hockey in small-town Canada during the wee hours of a wintry Saturday night. YEEEHAW!
Lyrics
Verse 1.
This is Canada on a Saturday night, freezing butt cold winter moonlight, the wife and kids are home in bed, but the sleepy little town is far from dead, and I'm downing my first beer and running my fingers down by tacks.
Chorus:
Well it's 2 in the morning and I'm gonna play me some hockey! Hockey! Look ma, I'm playing hockey, just a little ice hockey, hockey, Whoops I forgot my jockey! I never played in the big league but good golly how I wish I had!
Verse 2
Well the puck is dropped and it i sn't long before the beer runs out and the game rolls on. 20 grown men in stinky gear swearin' and grinnin' from ear to ear and saving my team with a diving poke check.
Chorus:
And someone roars "He Shoots he scores!" Hockey, Hockey! Look ma, I'm playin g hockey, just a little ice hockey, hockey, Whoops I forgot my jockey! I never played in the big league but good golly how I wish I had!
Verse 3:
I've got Wayne on my left Gordie on my right, Kenny's playing nets, Bobby's in a fight, Davey's doing time in the penalty box and Cherry's on the bench screamin in the name of
Chorus:
Hockey, Hockey! Look ma, I'm playing hockey, just a little ice hockey, hockey, Whoops I forgot my jockey! I never played in the big league but good golly how I wish I had!
