The Basketball Song

Eenie-meenie-minie-mo
Catch a piggie by the toe
If he hollers, let him go
Eenie-meenie-minie-mo
Odds or evens, odds or evens
Yes or no
Yes or no
Yes or no

Here in these hands I hold a planet
It's bigger than the sun and stranger than the moon
When my mama sat and hated me, I play basketball
C'mon, y'all

Here in these hands, I hold a planet
It's bigger than the sun and stranger than the moon
When my mama sat and hated me, I play basketball

And in the afternoons, when my father's out and looking for a kid to beat
I hide here in this a-holy court, and I dribble with the heads of kids
Oh, here in these hands, I hold a magic ball
And I can look in it and see me
I run this laughter, I jump for pain
I shoot the moon into a black hole and I close and I aim

You have the moon, I'd end the tide, yeah (yeah-yeah, moon end the tide)
You have the moon, I'd end the tide, yeah (yeah-yeah, moon and the tide)

Here in these hands, I hold a dinosaur's ball
Its potent and its friendly strength
It's making history on my team, and it's deadly in its aim

Oh, here in these hands, I hold the eye of a giant
The head of Goliath, a million-carat ruby
I shoot their ball into a big black hole
Venus, Mars, Uranus, Pluto, Cupid turn to my aim

You have the planets and the stars, yeah (doo, doo, planets and stars)
You have the planets and the stars, yeah (yeah, yeah, planets and stars)
You have the planets and the stars (yeah)
