Le mercure va monter
C’est la fièvre du hockey
On s’enligne vers la coupe Stanley

On voit partout des drapeaux
Sur toutes les autos
Everybody Go Habs Go!

La Zamboni est passée
La game va commencer
On va crier toute la soirée GO HABS GO!

Allez allez, Allez allez
Le Canadien va gagner!

L’est et l’ouest se rallient
Pour une fois dans leurs vie
Le combat aura lieu sur la glace

Le Rocket et Lafleur
Nos vrais ambassadeurs
N’hésitaient pas à prendre leur place

Le goaler va bloquer
Les attaquants vont scorer
On est les meilleurs au hockey
C’est nous qui l’avons inventé

Allez allez, Allez allez
Le Canadien va gagner!
