Straight No Chaser - The Tale Of Bobby Knight lyrics
Your rating:
Many great men have Walked the hallowed halls Of Indiana University Some have said that no man Has walked as tall As this basketball coaching Legend... Come gather round my Hoosier kin, A tale for one and all about a man who some may say, "He built assembly hall!" From player to a teacher 'round a legend born and bred, His shadow walks near seven foot, His sweater's claoked in red! Elevent Big Ten titles To his credit He has won. Leading Hoosier basketball since 1971! Three great years he's crowned the teams And took them all the way, And made us proud in '84 With gold for U S A! Isaiah Thomas, Calbert Chaney, Ken Benson as well, All great men who started here And learned how to excel With fourteen players tall and lean And help from Pat, his son, He coaches and inspires To make IU number one! He's Bobby Coach Knight Leads our boys into a war To conquer the Big Ten For Bobby will fight Bob the tyrant, with his fire, Will win it all again Indiana University, founded in 1820, On the banks of the mighty Jordan River. Known for its world class academics, Championship caliber athletics, And its total lack of identifiable mascot! It is home to over ninety thousand students Hundreds of academic buildings Ten members of Straight No Chaser, But only one Bob Knight! His winning ways have caused some fans Headaches all around for the folks in Lafayette! Coach Keady is the villain, But you must feel for Purdue 'cause you would hate, if in your state, You're always number two! Right to the win This man has been A referee's nightmare With staredowns that would chill the soul Or heaving out a chair Some coaches cheat just to compete But that's not Bobby's plan, His kids grow straight, they graduate A tribute to the man! Bobby Coach Knight May not be a perfect man, But no one's free of sin! A Hoosier birthright! He'll still wise-crack, But cut some slack and Let Ol' Bobby win! Right to the win his tempers spin, But no more Mister Hyde, Jekell's grin must follow him, Or he won't be courtside. So Hoosier pride come to his side, Our coach deserves a fight. He'll see it all, and still stand tall And lead with all his might, 'cause he is Bobby Knight! Bobby Coach Knight With his players on his side, We know he won't give in. Now in the spotlight Good luck coach, we know That you will win! 743 wins, 3 national championships Coached an olympic gold medal winning team 4 times national coach of the year 11 big ten titles In college basketball his name Is synonymous with greatness and winning He is bobby knight! He's Bobby Coach Knight Leads our boys into a war to conquer the Big Ten For Bobby will fight...
