In fac', I was da baddest dribbler in da whole world.
(Then one day, his mama bought him a basketball.)

An' I loved dat basketball.
An' I took dat basketball everywhere I went.
You know what? Dat basketball,
Was like a basketball to me.

An' after da game I always took a shower wit' my basketball.
An' ev'ry now an' den, da basketball gonna pinch my butt.
But I di'n't mind, 'cause me an' my basketball,
Had good, clean fun.
See, I am a victim of a basketball jones.
