Bracket Man

This Thursday, sports fans across America will immerse themselves in March Madness.  Although he’s a Brit, surely Elton John understands the excitement generated by the first round of the NCAA tournament.  Putting himself in the shoes of a college hoops die-hard, here’s how Sir Elton might view the world on Thursday.

 

 

I made my tourney picks last night

Zero hour 12 p.m.

And I’m gonna have cheese fries and Bud Light by then

I’ll miss a day of work to my delight

I’m watching all the games

Live via satellite

 

And I think it’s gonna be a long long day

‘Til upsets turn me into disarray

Don’t let my Final Four picks get sent home

Oh no no no I’m a bracket man

Bracket man screaming in the ESPN Zone

 

March ain’t the time to pick a 16 seed

But watch out for the 12’s

And I hate when my team blows a lead

And my bad luck I don’t understand

I never win my office pool

A bracket man, a bracket man

 

And I think it’s gonna be a long long day

‘Til upsets turn me into disarray

Don’t let my Final Four picks get sent home

Oh no no no I’m a bracket man

Bracket man screaming in the ESPN Zone
