(Verse 1) In the heart of South Bend, where the echoes roar, A team of warriors steps onto the hardwood floor. Their jerseys gleam like golden armor, fierce and bold, The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, a story to be told. (Pre-Chorus) They dribble with purpose, eyes fixed on the prize, From tip-off to buzzer, they reach for the skies. The crowd erupts, a sea of blue and gold, Cheering for their heroes, as the legends unfold. (Chorus) **Golden Hoops**, Notre Dame's battle cry, Through sweat and tears, they reach for the sky. From the Fighting Irish faithful, a resounding cheer, For every layup, every three-pointer, every slam dunk here. (Verse 2) Coach's wisdom guides them, X's and O's in play, They dance across the court, weaving dreams their way. From the Fighting Irish legacy, they draw their might, With each pass, they etch their names in Notre Dame's light. (Pre-Chorus) They leap for rebounds, hearts pounding in sync, Their footsteps echo through the rafters, never a blink. The clock winds down, but their spirit won't fade, For Notre Dame Basketball, a legacy forever made. (Chorus) **Golden Hoops**, Notre Dame's battle cry, Through sweat and tears, they reach for the sky. From the Fighting Irish faithful, a resounding chee (Bridge) In the hallowed halls of Joyce Center, they fight, Their camaraderie unbreakable, their passion alight. From the student section to the alumni's pride, They wear the golden jersey with honor, side by side. (Guitar Solo) (Chorus) **Golden Hoops**, Notre Dame's battle cry, Through sweat and tears, they reach for the sky. From the Fighting Irish faithful, a resounding cheer, For every layup, every three-pointer, every slam dunk here. (Outro) As the final buzzer sounds, victory or defeat, They leave it all on the court, hearts skipping a beat. For Notre Dame Basketball, a legacy so grand, **Golden Hoops**, forever echoing across the land. (Outro) As the final buzzer sounds, victory or defeat, They leave it all on the court, hearts skipping a beat. For Notre Dame Basketball, a legacy so grand, **Golden Hoops**, forever echoing across the land.
