Basketball Lyrics by Lincoln (Alt Rock)

Lincoln

1997

[Verse 1]
They're over on the corner
A quarter past three o'clock
Plaid skirts and knee socks
One suckin' on a Newport (Newport)
One eyein' up the half-court (half-court)
One twirlin' her hair with her fingers

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, what's up, you know
They're so good to go
Cool as, uh, Mister Freeze

[Chorus]
The white girls (white girls)
Are watching (watching)
The black boys
Playin' basketball

[Verse 2]
Heads bangin' off the backboard
High-tops nobody can afford
Look sharp for the muchachitas
Three points and a foul shot
Somebody scores a bag of pot
Hang out for the disco fever

[Pre-Chorus]
One-on-one (one-on-one)
They jump the gun (jump the gun)
Everybody shoots the breeze
Hey, what's up, you know
They're so good to go
Cool as Mister Freeze

[Chorus]
The white girls (white girls)
Are watching (watching)
The black boys
Playin' basketball
The white girls (white girls)
Are watching (watching)
The black boys
Playin' basketball
