Come this Saturday those healthy young lads
Will be putting on helmets, and strapping on pads
The stadium field, well it will never pass
If the groundskeeper doesn't get the lines on the grass
In Knoxville the Vols are ready, the Navy's on shore
Go across to Nashville, home of the Commodores
Over in Arkansas, where they yell sooey
Over to Mizzo, where they all say show me
It's football time in America
Down in Starkville, where they ring cowbells
Across to the Grove, where Ole Miss is ready now
Columbia, South Carolina, home of the Gamecocks
Down to College Station, and their team of jocks
Its football time in America
Way up in Kentucky, where the Bluegrass is just fine
Down to Death Valley, where on Saturdays they lose their minds
Over to Texas, home of the Longhorns
Up to Norman, where Boomer Sooner was born
It's football time in America
In between the hedges, with all the pomp
Don't forget the Gators, who play in the Swamp
On the Plains of Auburn, where they have their pride
Across to Tuscaloosa, where everyone yells Roll Tide
It's football time in America
So load up the truck, don't forget the grill
We'll head on down to tailgate, or just chill
Our team, they will have no fear
As the fans in the stadium all stand and cheer
It's football time in America
