take a chance
as you prance on the ice
with skates that can slice
swiftly, smooth and light
its a trial
going wild is your plan
you're a hockey man
and you'll score tonight

but don't forget that poor boy, alone
who's harmed by his infirmity
go snarlin'
skate real fast, lads, for me

oh i know
when your feet go flyin'
and you feel like cryin'
it can't be much fun
but one thing
take my words to heart
don't fall apart
and become undone

and don't forget that poor boy, alone
who's harmed by his infirmity
go snarlin'
skate real fast, lads, for me

babies, don't you know i love to coach
cause i seem to have the touch
now its time to get the red wings' goat
i want to very much

here's the plan
go and carry on
till your strength is gone
and that whistle blows
here's your task
try to find a hole
if you score a goal
you can lay them low

but don't forget that poor boy, alone
who's harmed by his infirmity
go snarlin'
skate real fast, lads, for me

but don't forget that poor boy, alone
who's harmed by his infirmity
go snarlin'
skate real fast, lads, for me

skate real fast, lads, for me

skate real fast, lads, for me
