“Hutson In The Fast Lane"
He was a smart-headed man,
He was baldly handsome,
And the D was terminally still
Gorton held him up,
And he held got him for ransom
In the heart of the cold, hockey city
He had an agent reputation as a smooth dude
They said he was ruthless, said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were Hugood we said
We’d say, "Faster, faster. The drafts are turnin' blue, white n’ red."
Hutson in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Hutson in the fast lane
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action,
Hot for the game
The coming attraction,
The drop of a name
HuGo knew all the right people,
HuGo took all the right pills
Bergy threw outrageous contracts,
Habs paid heavenly bills
There were lines for the CHeerer,
Lines on a Stanley Cup race
We pretended not to notice,
We were caught up in the CHase
Out every evening,
Until it was right
Price was too tired to make it,
He was too tired to fight it
Hutson in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Hutson in the fast lane
Yeah
Hutson in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Hutson in the fast lane
Yeah yeah
Blowin' and burnin',
Blinded by being first
Bergy didn't see the stop sign,
Took a turn for the worst
We said, "Listen, Bergy. You can hear the engine ring.
We've been up and down this highway; haven't won a goddamn thing."
We said, "Call HuGo the doctor. I think we’re gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but Geoff’s gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down the Slafreeway,
Wright messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off
… and now its time for …
Hutson in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Hutson in the fast lane
Hutson in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Hutson in the fast lane
Hutson in the fast lane
Hutson nick should be Fast Lane !
