~ The gym lights geam like a beacon beam ~ And a million motors hum In a good will flight on a Friday night; ~ For basketball beckons, "Come!" A sharp-shooting mite is king tonight. ~ The Madness of March is running. The winged fleet fly, the ball sails high ~ And field goal hunters are gunning. ~ The colors clash as silk suits flash ~ ill And race on a shimmering floor. ill Repressions die, and partisans vie ~ In a goal acclaiming roar.
On Championship Trail toward a holy grail, ~ All fans are birds of a feather. ~ It's fiesta night and cares lie light /Ill ~ When the air is full of leather. w Since time began, the instincts of man ~ Prove cave and current men kin. On tournament night the sage and the wight ~ Are relatives under the skin. ~ It's festival time. - sans reason or rhyme ~ But with nation-wide appeal. ~ In a world of hate, our ship of state Rides high on an even keel.
~ With war nerves tense, the final defense ~ Is the courage, strength and will In a million lives where freedom thrives And liberty lingers still.
~ Let commies clash and empires crash ~ ill~ 'Neath the wreck of a victory arch! ill Let our boys tread where hate is dead,- ~ In this happy Madness of March~ ~ H. V. Porter.
