I said I see no goals
I see only losses
I see no chance of a play-off tomorrow
So stand down eMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
I say stand down eMTy
Stand down please
Stand Therrien
You tell me how can it work
With this “process” of yours
All these chip-ins aren’t working,
We want a third goal scored
Stand down eMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
I sometimes wonder
If I’ll ever get to say
Come with me my children
To the Stanley Cup parade
Our hopes seem desperate in your dump and chase plans
Would you give a second thought
Would you ever change the process, I doubt it
Stand down eMTy
Score!
Everybody shout it
Stand down eMTy!
DDD, cut his power play time
More gCHuck at Centre
We score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Stand down please
Stand down EMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
I say stand down EMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
Stand down EMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
