[00:00.00]Old Smoothies - Steve Goodman
[00:33.10]My grandfather used to take us
[00:37.98]Down to the ice skatin' show
[00:42.89]At the hockey rink at the stadium
[00:47.60]When the Blackhawks were on the road
[00:52.54]We'd cheer for the clowns in their costumes
[00:57.20]And the beautiful figure ballet
[01:02.10]Of the former Olympic champions
[01:07.00]As they'd spin on the frozen spray
[01:13.72]But there was one moment in that whole spectacular show
[01:21.83]When the band would strike up a quiet waltz
[01:26.63]And they turned all the lights down low
[01:32.42]Old smoothies
[01:37.22]Two old people on skates
[01:42.23]Sequined septuagenarians
[01:47.04]Doing their figure eights
[01:51.81]How they'd glide 'round the arena
[01:57.24]So serene and sublime
[02:02.20]They had been the old smoothies for a long long time
[02:21.28]Where did they get the stamina
[02:26.06]How did they stay in shape
[02:30.85]I know that took the lion's share
[02:35.19]Of linament pride and tape
[02:39.85]See my Grandpa would smile as the smoothies
[02:44.91]Would glide and pirouette
[02:49.77]And then he would reach for my Grandma's hand
[02:54.69]And Grandma's eyes got wet
[02:59.96]The spotlight stayed on the smoothies
[03:04.54]While they circled the ice and bowed
[03:09.38]Before fifteen thousand hockey fans
[03:14.65]Not a dry eye in the crowd
[03:19.53]Old smoothies
[03:24.40]Two old people on skates
[03:29.21]Sequined septuagenarians
[03:34.03]Doing their figure eights
[03:38.92]How they'd glide 'round the arena
[03:43.66]So serene and sublime
[03:49.20]They had been the old smoothies for a long long time
