The Lyrics

Any college basketball fans here? If so, it's a safe bet that you're working on your N.C.A.A. tournament brackets. Get ready...get set...(and in the words of Dick Vitale) GO BA-BY!


Now the time to play "Who will win N.C.A.A.".
Don your jacket, for a fan there's reason to grin.
It's March Madness! Shout with gladness!
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

Do your best research, or they'll leave you in the lurch.
You must back it with some thought or you'll lose your skin.
Or play hunches in big bunches.
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

First go pick the East, where the Buckeyes are the beast.
In your packet it's the smartest place to begin.
Feeling lucky? Pick Kentucky!
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

Now to the Southwest, where the Jayhawks are the best.
You can crack it, pick the teams that you think will win.
What did you see? U.N.L.V.!
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

On to the Southeast, it's where Pitt is not the least.
When you stack it, all the rest take it on the chin,
'Though debators pick the Gators.
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

Finally the West, looks like Duke will get no rest.
Do they lack it? Will they end up in the dust bin?
How 'bout U. Conn? Are they soon gone?
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

In the new "first round", four "play-ins" will now be found.
You can black it, if they last I'll give you a "fin".
Just don't hassle with this passel.
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

Will there be upsets? It's a lock, come place your bets.
As you track it, numb your losses with lots of gin.
Treat your losing with some boozing.
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

In your office pool, by next week you'll seem a fool!
Just say "Whack it", 'cause bad picks are never a sin.
Your completed card's defeated.
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.

When the tourney's done, just remember it was fun.
It's a racket! Pick next year by jabbing a pin.
All those lost bucks from us dumb schmucks!
Take your bracket, choose your teams, and write them all in.









Keep in mind that TOS has TWO repeated lines in each verse. I kept one to give this parody the campfire/drinking song feel. My alma mater (Morehead State University) in is the tournament for the second time in three years...and once again must play Louisville (damn the luck!). ;D

I know I'm in good company when OMR takes on the same topic I do on the same day. What are odds? Probably about the same as me winning with my bracket picks!
