Original lyrics

EN
He looked more like our fathers Not a goalie, player, athlete period Smoke, half-ash, stuck in that permanent smirk. Tugging jersey around the beer gut "I'm strictly a whiskey man" Was one of the sticks he taped up and gave to a nation of pudgy boys Favorites from Plympton's list of objects thrown by Rangers fans: Soup cans, persimmon, eggs, a folding chair and a dead rabbit The nervous breakdown of 68 and 69 after Pan Crap flights from LA, the expansion A shrink told me to change occupations, I had to forget it He swore he was never afraid of the puck; we believe him If anyone asks, the inscription should read "My face was my mask."
