lyrics

We started loving in the hockey rink
We were cheering on Sid Crosby
The way he glid we could both agree:
He’s a kid we’d like to meet

We lost our faith in the American Leagues
Too many dopers batting fourth it seemed
If we wanted dopers we could easily
Step outside our homes

The kid’s in trouble so he skates so low
He skates so low, so low, so low
They want to fight him
He’ll fight them back
He’ll match them blow, for blow, for blow, for blow

Jimmy Carter is such a freaky thing
Dumb as a duckling though they crowned him king
I thought they learned, but apparently
The lesson didn’t stick

Kemosabe was an Indian chief
Al Capone was a Mafia thief
Cassius Clay was a bumblebee
That flew like a butterfly

The kid’s in trouble so he skates so low
He skates so low, so low, so low
They want to fight him
He’ll fight them back
He’ll match them blow, for blow, for blow, for blow

The kid’s in trouble so he skates so low
He skates so low, so low, so low
They’re gunning for him
He’s gunning right back
He’ll match them blow, for blow, for blow, for blow
