He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline
He started
playing hockey by the time he was nine
His dad took the hose and froze the back yard
And
Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard

Protection-kick somebody's ass
Protection-don't put the biscuit in the basket
just
Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears
Blood on the ice ran down through the
