On "Zamboni" the song: "I sort of buried the song with the band. I won't perform it again. It's a perfectly fine song but it got too big...it took on a life of its own." Leave that to the Zambonis, who recorded this version. Lyrics to "Zamboni" by Martin Zellar: Well I went down to the local arena Asked to see the manager man He came from his office said "Son can I help you" I looked at him and said "yes you can" 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni (x2) Yes I do Well ever since I was young it's been my dream That I might drive a zamboni machine I'd get that ice just as slick as could be And all the kids would look up to me 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni (x2) Yes I do Now the manager said "son I know it looks keen But that right there is one expensive machine Now I got Smokey who's been drivin' for years" About that time I broke down in tears 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni (x4) Yes I do Credits: Thanks to Zamboni drivers David Meltzer, José Soto, Frankie Reynolds, Jimmy Andreacci, Jack Durkin, Tim Cotispodi, Jack Kirrane, Al Tyldesley, Jack Vivian.
