With the brackets all forming
And top-seeds all donning their jerseys and gear
It’s the most wonderful ball of the year
It's the most treacherous postseason ball
Proven dynasties going, some underdogs showing
With some bound to fall
It's the most treacherous postseason ball
They’ll be one seeds for hosting
And die-hard fans boasting
And painted torsos for the teams
You’ll see hurry-up offense,
and stout, hard-nosed defense,
& coaching staff powerhouse schemes
It’s the most wonderful ball of the year
With those shotgun formations and smash mouth foundations
And Winners-Take-All
It’s the most wonderful ball of the year
There’ll be uprights for splitting
And ‘backers for hitting
and running backs rarin’ to go
There’ll be scary near-misses
And tales of the blitzes of
Quarterbacks taking a blow
It’s the battle to clench #1 time of year
There’ll be much missile-throwing
And scoreboards all glowing when trophies are near
It’s the battle to clench #1 time of year
There’ll be offense aggression
With deep penetration
From the gunslinger’s merciless blow
There’ll be defensive glories
And big tales and stories
Of championships seized from the foe!
It’s the most wonderful ball
Yes, the most wonderful ball
It’s the most wonderful ball of the year!
