Better Watch Out: Bobby Knight
Is Coming To Town

Minnesota Daily, February 28, 1985

You better watch out.
You better not cry.
You better not pout.
I’m tellin' you why.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

He's won national
Championships twice.
He's always naughty
And he's never nice.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

He coaches Indiana,
A team that's often great,
But this year Bobby’s boys are just
A mediocre six and eight.

Williams Arena
At eight tonight
Will be the scene of
This outrageous sight.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

His voice is so loud
Booming through the halls.
He hates officials,
And argues their calls.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

He won't talk to reporters.
He won't return your call.
He only wants to talk to you
If you're great at basketball.

You better rebound.
You better jump high.
You better box out.
I’m tellin' you why.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

Center Uwe Blab
At seven-foot-two
As a senior
Leaves you black and blue.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

He booted Mike Giomi,
Despite his decent grades.
The populace of Bloomington
Thought Giomi should have stayed.

You better watch out.
You better not cry.
You better not cheat.
I’m tellin' you why.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

His Olympic team
You needn't be told,
Went undefeated,
And won the gold.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

His presence is imposing.
His face a bitter scowl.
He gets booed wherever he goes
And gets a technical foul.

He'll play Steve Alford
Indiana's best.
Against Illinois,
He was made to rest.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

You'll probably lose.
You surely won't tie.
You're not gonna win.
I’m tellin' you why.
Bobby Knight is coming to town.

He wears his red-checked jacket
And ever-present glare.
And when he really gets upset.
He will even throw a chair.
