Basketball’s the name of the game
Five and five we run out and play
Down and up the ball goes through
I shoot two for me and so do you

Shoot the ball in that white net
And in the hoop two hands met
A rebound, that’s what it’s bound to be
And eyes stare at the ball to see

Pass the ball to me, pass the ball to you
With two minutes left, I asked if it’s true
“The opponent’s leading by eleven points to be…”
He answered, “So do your best to catch up with those bumblebees!”

One minute left and it’s a tie
Forty, thirty, twenty-five
I shoot the ball and miss the shot
Well, too bad, I’m out of luck.
