Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

Got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo

Yes, I am the victim of a Basketball Jones

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

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

Then one day, my mama bought me a basketball

And I loved that basketball

I took that basketball with me everywhere I went

That basketball was like a basketball to me

I even put that basketball underneath my pillow

Maybe that's why I can't sleep at night

I need help, ladies and gentlemens

I need someone to stand beside me

I need, I need someone to set a pick for me

At the free-throw line of life, someone I can pass to

Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go

And not end up in the popcorn machine

So cheerleaders, help me out

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo

Oh, that sounds so sweet, sing it out

C'mon coach Booty, Red Blazer, sing along with me

That be bad, honky, yeah

I want everybody in the whole stadium

To stand up and sing with us

Oh yeah, sing it out like you're proud

All right, everybody watchin' coast-to-coast

Sing along with us, Bill Russell, sing along with us

Chick Hearn, sing along with us

Chris Schenkel, don't sing nothin'

Oh, it feels so good, gimme the ball

I'll go one on one against the world, left-handed

I could stuff it from center court with my toes

I could jump on top of the backboard

Take off a quarter, leave fifteen cents change

I could, I could dribble behind my back

I got more moves than Ex-Lax I'm bad

I could dribble with my tongue

Here I go down court, try to stop me

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

Here I come that's my hook shot with my eyebrow

Yeah, I could dunk it with my nose

I'm, I'm bad as King Kong, gimme the ball

I'm hot, I'm hot as, I'm hot as, I'm hot as, uh uh, uh, uh, uh

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones

Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones

I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones
