Going out on a limb! :)


Yee haw, woo hoo and holy crap
We beat the U.S. by crickey
It's Canada's game so it's only right
Forever ingrained in our psyche

The women won gold as predicted
But our men will have it much tougher
 Up against a talented team from Sweden
For gold, it'll go down to the buzzer

Look at the pink patch of land to the north
Just above the 49th parallel
It'll be coloured a very bright red and white
Sound will reach ten thousand decibels

There's really no question in this guy's mind
The gold is a foregone conclusion
We are the best, there's no longer doubt
No longer will there be confusion

Go Canada Go! will be heard loud and clear
Olympic Gold Medalists in hockey
Reigning champs for the next four years
Can't blame me for feeling cocky
