Here's to the Front End

Here′s to the front end Out on the curling sheet The lead's up first, the shots are kinda bland But in the rights spots they lead to the promised land✦ Don′t leave it up too high or slip into the rings For the unsung hero here's the song we sing Judge the weight and hurry hard But not too much, we need a guard Can't win the game but sure can lose it✦ Here′s to the front end, now let′s use it A second needs to have both power and finesse Delicate little draw or smash out of a mess When the end comes to an end and points go on the board All that'll be remembered is the glorious skip′s score Sweep the ice, and hurry hard Hold the line! get by that guard Can't win the game, but sure can lose it Here′s to the front end now let's use it All that deliberatin′ down there in the house The front end's just a'waitin′, quiet as a mouse What′s the call? Sounds good to me, I know you can make it Just hit the broom, give it to us, we'll take it Sweeping six per end, is a mighty load Shouting up and down, keeps ′em on their toes Pound it fast and hard, make broom handles bend But if they burn a rock✦ they'll never hear the end Judge the weight and sweep it right Bring it to the house, but just a little bite Can′t win the game, but sure can lose it Here's to the front end now let′s use it Well Here's to the front end sweeping stones!
