Lyrics:
Big Ralph the Giant Center
You know Jeff Lamp and Walker and Raker and Othell
Jeff Jones and both Stokes and Langloh and Parkhill
But do you recall the most famous Wahoo of all?
Big Ralph the Giant Center
Was so big and awfully tall
That if you ever saw him
You would feel so very small
All of the nation’s coaches
Used to beat upon his door
They knew that if they got Ralph
He could lead their team once more
Then one sunny afternoon
Terry came to say
“Big Ralph with your dunks so right,
Won’t you guide my Cavs tonight?”
Then how the conference knew him
Wahoo fans were filled with glee
They loved to see their Wahoos
Number One in ACC
But one foggy Christmas Eve
Auerbach came to say
Sampson with your dunks so keen
Won’t you drive my Celts machine
Ralph didn’t like that Yankee
He didn’t like the NBA
Ralph’s heart was in Virginia
Playing for the U-V-A!
