Shinny


Oh, I wish I had a hockey rink right outside the house
You could come on over and just show me how
To hold on proper to my hockey stick
And skate backwards real fast
And I wish I had a hockey rink right outside the house

And I wish I had a ticket for every season and every year
We would take the bus on down 'cause we'd had to many beers
Wear the jerseys of the visiting team
And make a lot of noise for Mats Sundin
And I wish I had a ticket for every season and every year

And I wish I could play shinny

["Let me explain the word shinny,
Because only Canadians know what shinny is
Shinny is, it's basically when you go out
And play on the ice with your friends
And neighbours and there's no equipment
And you have a no hitting rule
Because it's all fun and games
And you're just playing with your buddies
But I think they call it shinny in Canada because
Everyone ends up at the hospital
Because they've all got in fights"]

And I wish I could play shinny better than anyone
And get my skates sharpened every week, put my game face on
And spend two minutes in the penalty box
As I cross-checked your sorry ass after you broke my heart

And I wish I could play shinny better than anyone
And I wish I had a ticket for every season and every year
Oh, I wish I had a hockey rink right outside the house

Lyrics are from the 2003-04-30 performance
