Basketball Jones Featuring Tyrone Shoelaces

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

{cheerleaders sing repeatedly...}

(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones)

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