Battle For The Gold (The Lucky Loonie Song) Poem by Paul Henry Dallaire

Battle For The Gold (The Lucky Loonie Song)



I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the womens hockey game played that day. Everything to give the Canadians a penalty so they could steal the game. I understand they even had an American referee which I believe is illegal just like the Iraq war.
They even stomped on the Canadian flag. Yep the same people that elected George Bush He he. No shame at all.
By the way the Bluenose was a Canadian racing schooner(Large fishing boat?) and when the Americans were beaten they left the trophy on the porch outside the door of skipper's Angus Walters house not to face him in person. Ho ho.
Here in this story a couple of guys buried a loonie at center ice for good luck while they were icing it with the Zamboni before the game.

Battle For The Gold
(The Lucky Loonie Song)

Back in two thousand two we took a little trip
Down to Salt Lake City for the winter olympics
We took Canadian bacon maple syrup and some beans
To face the bloody Yankees with our women's hockey team

Chorus:
Well they huffed and they puffed they grunted and they ranted
Danced on our flag and they gave us penalties
But like the Bluenose did we kicked their asses back to Boston
From of Salt Lake City to the town of New Orleans

Well we fired that puck and the Yankees kept a comin
They weren't as fast as they were a while ago
We played so great against those bad news Americans
Cause were the world's hockey best in the battle for the gold

Ol Gretsky said we can take 'em by surprise
So they planted a loonie in'da center of dehice' (french)
Then with our power play we put the hammer down
And by the third period they were mince meat by the pound

Chorus;
Well they huffed and they puffed they grunted and they ranted
Danced on our flag and they gave us penalties
And like the Bluenose did we kicked their asses back to Boston
by way of Salt Lake City to the town of New Orleans

To be continued (anybody want to put in their own two cents))
