G-nip Gnop
I don't wanna ever stop
With G-nop G-nip
You gotta ease in the beginners
You can't relax
And you have to rise to challenge
Well there's no hate
Just love to keep ya gnippin'
When we were younger
We took up the fabulous game
G-nip and G-nop
It's the sound of the rhythm we play
That noisy rattle means
Someone will triumph today
Maybe us both it's the way
That you look at what's winning
Linked in one mind
If we master the infinite volley
Going the distance
And watching the ball while it's flying
Feeling the effortless pull
While we're swinging the paddle
None of us wants it to fall
So we're working together
G-nip G-nop
The beautiful green top where
My mind is gaping
The concentration's locked on
G-nop G-nippin'
I'm focused on the poppin'
I feel entranced on
The easy way it hops
I feel me movin'
G-nip G-nop is cool when
You want a looser
And loosen up the bolts
Would you feel the ball that's
Extended from the paddle
And send it off with
A spin that gets your heart goin'
G-nip G-nop
I don't wanna ever stop
With G-nop G-nip
You gotta ease in the beginners
You can't relax
And you have to rise to challenge
Well there's no hate
Just love to keep ya gnippin'
