I'm a rookie who was born to be a whole new hockey player
Playing for New York Islanders, not the New York Rangers
I'm sharp as the cold and the guess who rocks the ice
Even those pesky "New York strangers" will be thinking twice

I spent some time in New York state I hardly lost my mind
As I made the cut in a part of Sesame Street that time
The blades of steel and flashing lights was something I could see
It may be good for New York state and hockey's still good for me

I'm a rookie who was born to be a whole new hockey player
Playing for New York Islanders, not the New York Rangers
I'm sharp as the cold and the guess who rocks the ice
Even those pesky "New York strangers" will be thinking twice

In Montreal the Frenchmen play for the Canadiens
Even that French-mistaken man who was just Italian
And if I bust through his disguise I'll surely shave him bald
I can't neglect him and by the way, his name is Archibald

I'm a rookie who was born to be a whole new hockey player
Playing for New York Islanders, not the New York Rangers
I'm sharp as the cold and the guess who rocks the ice
Even those pesky "New York strangers" will be thinking twice

Now that the pacific islanders will better make some time
Uniondale is a city in New York that really defines
The miracle and spirit of legends of ice hockey
That changed their ways of shooting and scoring, no more "hookey"

I'm a rookie who was born to be a whole new hockey player
Playing for New York Islanders, not the New York Rangers
I'm sharp as the cold and the guess who rocks the ice
Even those pesky "New York strangers" will be thinking twice

I'm a rookie who was born to be a whole new hockey player
Playing for New York Islanders, not the New York Rangers
I'm sharp as the cold and the guess who rocks the ice
Even those pesky "New York strangers" will be thinking twice
