My Hockey Mom (Tribute)

When I was young, I do recall
We would go to school, in the early fall
But on the days, when there was no school
We'd learned to play, by a different rule

Get out of that bed, you sleepy head
My hockey mom would say
Grab your skates, and don't be late
There's a hockey game today!
And poor old dad, was feeling bad
Because he couldn't come
He'd have to go to work
And so I took my orders from
My Hockey Mom
My Hockey Mom
She was my chum
My Hockey Mom

Then we drove, to the rink in town
And I'd hit the ice, by falling down
Then I'd score, for the other team
And you could hear my mom stand up and scream

Get off of that ice, I told you twice
To skate the other way
Every year she'd bent my ear
Until I learned play
And when my stick, got pretty quick
And the puck to me would come
Each time I scored, I knew for sure
Where the loudest cheer was from
My Hockey Mom
My Hockey Mom
My day will come
My Hockey Mom

Then one day, a stranger came
From far away, and he took my name
And very soon, for the N.H.L.
I came to play, and mom came to yell

Get on that puck, and stir things up
Show some winning pride
And every time, she said that line
I'd bang that puck inside
And here's my dad, all mister Glad
He knew this night would come
We're all lined up, for the Stanley Cup
And the tears are rolling from
My Hockey Mom
My Hockey Mom
Ain't she the plum?
My Hockey Mom
My Hockey Mom
Forever Young
My Hokey Mom
