Song by Barry White & Chris Rock<br /><br>

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones <br>

Got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo <br>

Yes, I am the victim of a Basketball Jones <br>

Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin' <br>

In fac', I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood <br>

Then one day, my mama bought me a basketball <br>

And I loved that basketball <br>

I took that basketball with me everywhere I went <br>

That basketball was like a basketball to me <br>

I even put that basketball underneath my pillow <br>

Maybe that's why I can't sleep at night <br>

I need help, ladies and gentlemens <br>

I need someone to stand beside me <br>

I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life <br>

Someone I can pass to <br>

Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go <br>

And not end up in the popcorn machine <br>

So cheerleaders, help me out <br>

{cheerleaders sing repeatedly...} <br>

(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones) <br>

(I got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo) <br>

{while Tyrone Shoelaces sings/speaks...} <br>

Oh, that sounds so sweet <br>

Sing it out <br>

C'mon Coach Booty, Red Blazer, sing along with me <br>

That be bad, honky <br>

Yeah I want everybody in the whole stadium to stand up and sing with us <br>

Oh yeah, sing it out like you're proud <br>

All right, everybody watchin' coast-to-coast, sing along with us <br>

Bill Russell, sing along with us <br>

Chick Hearn, sing along with us <br>

Chris Schenkel, don't sing nothin' <br>

Oh, it feels so good <br>

Gimme the ball I'll go one-on-one against the world, left-handed <br>

I could stuff it from center court with my toes <br>

I could jump on top of the backboard, take off a quarter, leave fifteen cents change <br>

I could, I could dribble behind my back <br>

I got more moves than Ex-Lax I'm bad <br>

I could dribble with my tongue <br>

Here I go down court, try to stop me <br>

You can't stop me 'cause I got a Basketball Jones <br>

Here I come <br>

That's my hook shot with my eyebrow <br>

Yeah, I could dunk it with my nose <br>

I'm, I'm bad as King Kong, gimme the ball <br>

I'm hot, I'm hot as..., I'm hot as..., I'm hot as... uh <br>

Uh, uh, uh, uh <br>

(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones) <br>

(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones) <br>

(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones) <br>

(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones) <br>

{fade} <br>
