Singin' "here we go Oilers, here we go" again

There ain't no louder building than the house of ninety-nine

You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around.

Skatin' quick and passin' pretty, fastest ice around the league

But I know we've got some boys that ain't afraid to drop the gloves

You better cheer 'em on, they're the roughest necks around
