Played basketball like he invented a game
that brought Carolina so much fame.
We go west with the Tar Heel team,
help knock Kansas off the beam,
wins the game with two free throws
to be the star of the western show.
win them all, play just for fun,
the stilt they wilted for thirty -two,
scare the heck out of me and you.
Tommy Kearns is a mighty man,
wins the close ones for Tar Heel fans.
He stays cool when things get rough,
dribbles the ball with his magic touch.
Michigan State were underway,
Brenneman dribbled, then he shot,
another overtime was what we got.
win them all play just for fun.
They still, they wilted for 32,
scared the heck out of me and you.
A Yankee boy is Cunningham,
there is no better defenseman.
He got him close, he shoot him long,
man, that guy is gone, gone, gone.
Frank McGuire, the Ir ishman,
used to live in Brookerland.
Moved down south to Carolina,
number one coach, no one finer.
Win them all, they just for fun
The stilt they wilted for thirty -two
Scared the heck out of me and you
Buck Freeman coached and also scouted
Others helped when trouble mounted
Rosamond Holland says he too
Young and lotsy to come true
Nothing in the whole wide world
Ever happened like this before
Three overtimes, two nights in a row,
we'll never forget that TV show.
win them all, they're just for fun.
So still they will tip a thirty -two,
scare the heck out of me and you.
