We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Boston Bruins, Maple Leafs, Detroit and Canadiens
Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Original Six
Conn Smythe, Frank Calder, Francis McGee, Bailey
Mickey McKay, Hockey Hall of Fame
Boucher, Irvin, Detroit's got a winning team
McNamara, Red Dutton, King Clancy, War again
Johnson, Fredrickson, Alec Connell, Foyston
Hughie Lehman, Sprague Cleghorn, Patrick Joseph Moran
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Lady Byng, Sportsmanship, Hart Trophy, MVP
Calder, Top Rookie, Conn Smythe Playoff MVP
Canada, Sydney Howe, Hockey's catching on now
Masterson tragedy, Hockey's played defensively
Pocket Rocket, Rocket, Ted Lindsay, Jack Adams
Goalie mask, respect, Jaques Plante is the hero
Abel, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull and Dickie Moore
Johnny Bower, Horton, and Alex Delvecchio
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Bobby Orr, Glenn Hall, Montreal's 5 cup run
Worsley, Lumley, League goes through expansion
Capitals come in, eight wins on their season
Philly wins, back to back, Broad Street Bullies they're known
Ray Bourque, Bobby Clarke, Canadiens dominate
Islanders, dynasty, '80 to '83
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Soviets, USA, Miracle in Lake Placid
Herb Brooks, Jim Craig, Eruzione, 'nuff said
Enter, Gretzky, The Great One, records? Oh, 'bout 61
Edmonton now dominates, League expands to twenty-one
Early 90's, bring a wave, five more teams, twenty-six
Fetisov, Federko, four teams, Bigger league
New York Rangers break the curse, haven't won in 50 years
A Legend plays one last time, Goodbye number 99
We didn't start the fire,
It was always burnin',
Since the world's been turnin'
We didn't start the fire,
But when we are gone
Will it still burn on, and on, and on, and on...
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't...
