this is a song about Phil Kessel

lyrics

Phil! Phil! Phil!

In the hour of our greatest need
He came to save the day
A nice guy, he works hard and loves the game
He’s got a shot like a laser ray

With the steely gaze of a champion
The number of this beast is 81
Shining radiant light, black and gold and white,
We are his witnesses

(I believe)
He’s an American hero
(I believe)
He’s the American dream
(I believe)
He’s the exact kind of player
That every coach wants on their team
And his name is Phil!

Phil! Phil! Go Phil!
Phil! Phil! Phil Kessel

With sonic speed he’s scoring goal after goal
It sets the crowd on fire
Tell me now, are you not entertained?
If you say that you aren’t, I’ll call you a liar

(I believe)
He is a cancer survivor
(I believe)
He’s a Maple Leafs survivor as well
(I believe)
That Toronto sports writers can go choke on hot dogs in hell
I believe Phil!

(I believe)
He was born in Madison, Wisconsin
(I believe)
On the greatest day in the history of mankind

(I believe)
He is emblazoned with glory
(I believe)
That he has answered the call
(I believe)
The ages will carry his story
He might be the greatest of all
I believe in Phil!
