I was just seventeen when I made the AHL,
And I couldn't skate in junior, but my fists rang like a bell;
I'll never win a title, and I'll never win the cup,
But when it comes to ladies, I've had the best of luck.
My first one was a sly one, she would hang around the rink,
They sent me off to Cornwall as fast as you could blink;
In Moose Jaw I had the right to love the daughter of the coach,
He traded me for nothing, didn't take to my approach.
So good-bye, fare thee well, it's no time for delay,
You'll see me at the face-off, or catch the play-by-play;
So good-bye, fare thee well, and I'm glad you shared my bed,
But never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head.
Chantal came from Moncton, elle a joué avec moi,
A tongue as sharp as razors, but she had a fancy car;
Her husband was a bruiser, played senior in Quebec,
And if he had the rights of it, it would have been my neck.
So good-bye, fare thee well, it's no time for delay,
You'll see me at the face-off, or catch the play-by-play;
So good-bye, fare thee well, and I'm glad you shared my bed,
But never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head.
Nancy couldn't watch me for she'd always be in tears,
Screaming from the bleachers, and bawling in my ears;
And Dee I should have married as we had a dandy fling,
But I had a one way contract, blew my money for a ring.
So good-bye, fare thee well, it's no time for delay,
You'll see me at the face-off, or catch the play-by-play;
So good-bye, fare thee well, I'm glad you shared my bed,
But never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head.
Should have sent a letter, and it would have been polite,
But I'm cleaning out my locker 'cause time is getting tight;
I'm calling from the airport, perhaps another day,
'Cause they're calling up a rookie, and they traded me away.
So good-bye, fare thee well, it's no time for delay,
You'll see me at the face-off, or catch the play-by-play;
So good-bye, fare thee well, I'm glad you shared my bed,
But never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head.
No, never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head,
She'll never trust a fellow with a helmet on his head.
FARE THEE WELL!!!
