LYRICS:
"Come and get it Louisville
Come experience the thrill
It is something that has been here for awhile
Things are cookin' in this town
Cardinal Spirit's goin' round
(It's) got enthusiasm, got that winning style
It's that championship tradition
It's the pride of Derby Town
It's the way we stay on top and never quit
Take a positive direction
Make the Cardinal Connection
If you're lookin' for a winner, This is It!

(Chorus)
Spirit, Catch that Cardinal Spirit
Spirit, Catch that Cardinal Spirit
We've got it and we want you to hear it
Spirit, Catch that Cardinal Spirit

Well the biggest thrill of all
Is when the Cards play basketball
Got what it takes to take it all the way
They've got agility and grace
They're the ones who set the pace
The finest in the NCAA
It's a magic combination
It's a perfect chemistry
When they're playin' hard and runnin' up the score
They hang tough to win the big ones
They know what it's all about
And they're no strangers to the Final Four!

(Chorus) X2

Catch that Cardinal Spirit with U of L!"
