D
They got the Coliseum rockin'
D
and they're making quite a din
D
Singin' "here we go Oilers, here we go" again
G
There ain't no louder building than the house of ninety-nine
D
Got the echoes of the dynasty a burnin' in their minds
A
You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around.
D
'Cause it's hockey night in Edmonton, the Oil's back in town, yeah!
[Verse 2]
D
Skatin' quick and passin' pretty, fastest ice around the league
D
The goalie stacks 'em up and makes a save you can't believe
G
Elbows in the corners and she's getting kinda rough
D
But I know we've got some boys that ain't afraid to drop the gloves
A
You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around
D
'Cause it's hockey night in Edmonton, the Oil's back in town, yeah!
[Verse 3]
D
All they got is broken noses, missin' teeth and blackened eyes

Beards and blood and guts and stitches keepin' playoff hopes alive
G
And the spirit of the boys from the Eighties in their eyes
D
Come on and say it with me, say it "Five cups, five!"
A
You better cheer 'em on, 'cause they're better than the rest
D
They got the blue and orange colours of the Oilers on their chests, yeah!
[Verse 4]
D
Well, I got me a couple tickets, take my baby to the game
D
'Cause the road trip's over, winnin' every game away
G
Don't really need my radio, but bring it anyway
D
Catch the skipper, Roddy Phillips, call the play-by-play
A
You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around
D
'Cause it's hockey night in Edmonton, the Oil's back in town.
G
Yeah, you better cheer 'em on, 'cause they're better than the rest

They got the blue and orange colours of the Oilers on their chests.
