John K. Samson - Petition lyrics

(We, the undersigned, put forth his name) Whereas Reggie Leach was born and played Minor hockey back in my hometown The Rifle fired his first 500 here And slapped his way into the NHL (We, the undersigned, put forth his name) Whereas some of us weren't always fair To the Native kid on borrowed skates Chippy Goolies and Ukranians In the corners with our elbows up (We, the undersigned, put forth his name) Whereas Reggie on a playoff run Could make a dad go buy the new TV Put his youngest by the window, place The split antenna in her tiny hands (We, the undersigned, put forth his name) Whereas photos from the old Tribune Of Reggie smiling with the Stanley Cup Curled their corners, dropped off bedroom walls Left a square of where they used to be We, the undersigned, put forth his name To the Hockey Hall of Fame We, the undersigned, put forth his name To the Hockey Hall of Fame Therefore, we, the undersigned put forth his name To the Hockey Hall of Fame
