Rocks on Ice

Like ice and fire, and cold and heat Of a gentleman′s sport that's hard to beat The lounge is hushed, but for the clink of ice As stories of the rink entice We trade our suits for something warm Tonight we′re breaking from the norm We trade the felt for sheets of ice, the stakes are just as high A sip of courage, throw the stone, you can hear the roaring sky✦ The ice is gleaming, the air is crisp, a whisky glass in hand Another night at the curling club, the greatest in the land Got my slider on, my broom at the ready, a glint in my eye Tonight we're aiming for the button, gonna watch our rivals cry This ain't no shuffleboard✦, this ain′t no bowling game This is curling, baby, a test of strategy and aim We send that rock down the pebbled sheet, a whisper and a roar One perfect guard, a wicked draw, we leave ′em wanting more In the hack ready to excite, line up the shot That broom's a little tight Slide out smooth, sweep the rock just right Go for broke, perfect roll, what a night! Tactics whispered, in the frosty air Play it cool, with style to spare It′s not just a game, but a dance on ice With every throw, we toss the dice The house is full, we need the pin A little tap back for the win It's on the line, here comes the guard! The button′s ours if we HURRY! HARD! Tonight we take our shots! with rocks on ice
