NHL Lockout 2004 (an parody)

Hey Bob, at least you got a job,

But those concessionaires who cannot sell their wares,

Across the United States and Canada, eh,

What about them?

 

The fans, they make few demands,

They pay for tickets, beer, food and souvenirs,

They give the players fame, so give them back their game,

They’ve earned it.

 

Bob and Gary, you got to stop scrappin’,

Fan dedication is what makes it all happen,

Sometimes I do despair, you all want more than your fair share,

I hope I’m wrong.

 

Mario and Wayne are lying low,

They are the lucky few who had their cake and ate it too, but,

Doesn’t it suck, to know you’re stuck,

In a hard place?

 

Salary cap, there’s a load of crap,

It’s not like anyone would need a second job,

So what’s the fighting for? Seven figures are more,

Than I’ll ever make.

 

Bob and Gary, you got to stop scrappin’,

Fan dedication is what makes it all happen,

Sometimes I do despair, you all want more than your fair share,

I hope I’m wrong.

 

Wanna be’s, stuck in the minor leagues who really love the game,

Would play in the NHL for anything, even beer and poutine. (Plus endorsements).

 

Sometimes, fighting should be a crime,

They act like spoiled brats, the players and bosses who

Make the big bucks, bunch of greedy shmucks,

It’s disgusting.

 

That said, this season’s all dead,

Back to reality, I found another game with goals and

Penalties, hey, it’s on TV,

“Survivor”.

 

Bob and Gary, you got to stop scrappin’,

Fan dedication is what makes it all happen,

Sometimes I do despair, you all want more than your fair share,

I hope I’m wrong.

Sometimes I do despair, you all want more than your fair share,

So prove me wrong.

Sometimes I do despair, you all want more than your fair share,

I hope…
