[00:18][00:01]They're playing Basketball
[00:32][00:04]We love that Basketball
[00:37][00:09]They're playing Basketball
[00:50][00:13]We love that Basketball

[00:56]Basketball is my favorite sport
[00:58]I like the way they dribble up and down the court
[01:00]Just like I'm the King on the microphone  so is Dr. J and Moses Malone
[01:05]I like Slam dunks  take me to the hoop
[01:08]My favorite play is the alley oop
[01:09]I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go,
[01:12]Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow,

[01:16]===Chorus

[01:33]I used to go to dinner, and then take the girl,
[01:35]To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl,
[01:37]And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West,
[01:39]To play Basketball at it's very best,
[01:42]Basketball has always been my thing,
[01:44]I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King,
[01:46]And number 33, my man Kareem,
[01:49]Is the center on my starting team,

[02:05](To the hoop, ya'll, Watch out, Watch out
[02:08]In yo' face, now here comes the rest)

[02:10]Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete,
[02:12]Now these players, could never be beat,
[02:14]Isiah, and Iceman too,
[02:16]Just give 'em the ball, and then you talk up too,
[02:19]Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene,
[02:21]And Ralph Sampson is really mean,
[02:24]Bill Russell didn't take no junk,
[02:25]and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk,
[03:05]Tell me, were you in the joint?,
[03:07]The night Wilt scored 100 points,
[03:09]Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back,
[03:11]And didn't give nobody, no kind of slack,
[03:14]Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team,
[03:16]With moves that came right out of a dream,
[03:19]Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall,
[03:21]Playing D with desire, it's Basketball,

[03:23]Chorus
[03:40]
