it’ll be in Kentucky,
the lineup, a heavy slate,
opponents: less than lucky,
our state’s love’s innate,
 
the lineup, a heavy slate,
join the herd at Broadway and High,
our state’s love’s innate,

We’ll turn y’all into fans.
 
Ghosts in the rafters, zombies in the stands,
at the crisp edge of the Fall,
we’ll turn y’all into fans
when the dead play basketball.
