This one goes out to my dude, Jeff Skinner.
Shout out to James Corden for the inspiration. He reminded me that there was another Jeff out there who could use some thanking.
Lyrics:
Started off at the bottom
Couldn’t get any wins
Botterill had to do something
And do something he did
He called up Carolina
And got Skinner for free
What Don Waddell was thinking
Is a mystery
He’s got that shot
He’s got so much patience
The speed and the hands
Damn he’s amazing
We’ve lost and we’ve lost
Those days are behind us
‘Cause look what he’s done
Look where he takes us
And for that I say
Thank you Jeff (x3)
Putting all those pucks up in the net
Thank you Jeff (x3)
When he’s out on the ice
I ain’t worried ’bout nothing
Sam and Jack by his side
He’s about to do something
He’ll catch you napping on faceoffs
Fool you with that backhand
Crush your spirit in overtime
Yeah he’s the man
He’s got that smile
And he’s got that axel
He knows how to floss
Yeah he’s fantastic
We’ve lost and we’ve lost
But this time we’re winners
‘Cause look what he’s done
Thank God for Skinner
And for that I say
Thank you Jeff (x3)
Putting all those pucks up in the net
Thank you Jeff (x3)
Thank you Jeff (x3)
2nd, 3rd, 6th, and some guy named Cliff
Thank you Jeff (x3)
