38 Million sticks tappin' / Walters' song
38 Million Sticks Tapping, Ray Scott
Wayne gave Walters’ Eulogy in his hometown church
Where he devoted his life to friends and family first
Thirty eight million tears now flow
For the worlds’ greatest hockey coach
Places where the puck has yet to go
A rec-room museum of memories
For the whole country to come n’ see
Home’s where the heart is for tours and teams
Tears for the worlds’ kindest hockey teacher
Flooding the backyard rink ice clearer
Seen at all big arenas and with little league dreamers
From L.A to Oil-town, pausing for pictures
Close to 3000 golf balls, a slice of the green
He gathered so Wayne could sign, kind gestures
Nearly 38 million sticks now tap
For the passing of Canada’s’ hockey dad
Wally in the backyard, Phyllis, fixin’ dinners
Building dreams in Brantford for Steelers n' winners
Wally told Wayne, skate to the ice undiscovered
Someday we’ll know what the open space is
Never forget who tied your laces
Human Hall of Fame’s where Walters’ place is
Money and fame and smiling young faces
Follow your dreams
N’don’t chase lost places
N’ be The Great One, being great to all others
Never forget your hockey father
Never forget where you’re from
Grandaughters and Grandsons
Scoring goals and hittin’ home runs
38 million hockey sticks tapping
Standing ovation hands are all clapping
From the Ukraine to the Human Hall of Fame
For The Great One, The family, The Father and Son
