U. of Indiana - school of basketball fame.
Bobby Knight to present - they're a top team in the game.
Mighty Cream and Crimson - good since heaven knows when.
Basketball titan of the old Big Ten.

Scary Indiana, very Indiana, they're the top banana
And they're gonna win it all.
Merry Indiana, wary Indiana, holy gloriana,
Coach Crean is Harbaughs' in-law.

If you're going there, remember to never mention
Kelvin Sampson and the lost time they were on suspension.
For this year has been remarkably free of tension.
Gee the game is fun - when you're Number One!

Prairie Indiana, airy Indiana, not Champaign-Urbanna,
Lexington, or Baltimore.
But scary Indiana, Oh Susannah, vox humana,
They'll be making - the Final Four.


(Orchestra interlude to bridge)


They have a great guy, a giant named Cody Zeller.
Their performance this year has been nothing short of stellar.
In Assembly Hall, the atmosphere's getting sweller.
But you must compete - if you want a seat.

Merry Indiana, wary Indiana, not Castro's Havana.
It's in Bloomington I mean!
For scary Indiana, listen Pollyanna, mighty Indiana
Has Coach Tom Crean.
