Curl

Somewhere in the darkness

There's a man they call The Skipper fast asleep

And dreaming of gold

He wakes before the sun does

Even though he'd rather stay in bed

He curses the cold in Minnesota

Why's it always so damn cold

But he's got a job to do

He does it for me and you

And the red and the white and the blue

Because he knows he's got to curl (curl)

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

Because he knows he's got to curl (curl)

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

His team is there and ready

Though the coffee's warm, their breath hangs in the air

They hit the ice

No one's there to see it

There's no press or paparazzi and that's OK

But it'd be nice if someone noticed

That they've all been working hard

Pushing these rocks around

Trying to gain some ground

Got to keep the Canadians down

And all they got to do is curl (curl)

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

Oh yeah they know they got to curl (curl)

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

Their lives outside are waiting

But they give until they've given all they have

They're dead on their feet

The Skipper isn't certain

But he thinks that maybe this could be the year

When they defeat the world forever

And they bring that medal home

But now it seems years away

He's taking it day by day

When it comes he'll be ready to play

Because he knows he's got to curl (curl)

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

Because he knows he's got to curl (curl)

C'mon baby put the rock in the house

Somewhere in the darkness

There's a man they call The Skipper fast asleep

And dreaming of gold
