Lyrics
Well, when the school lets out
Oh, and the shifts are done
We get the boys together
We're gonna get a ball and a run
Lace up them sneaks, yes
Now kick off them shoes
I'll admit I play to win
Oh, but I don't like to lose
At Seger Park
They've got the best competition
Good moves, baby
I'm the definition
Shooting hoops
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They playing basketball
Oh, they shooting hoops
Yeah
They playing basketball, baby
I learned at Old Pine
See I'm a school yard hustler
I had my hardknocks
Now I'm off the backboard buzzer
I could fake to the left
Or penetrate like Mike
Or 360 degrees in the air as Dominique might
Baby, I can pass like Magic
Yes, I can shoot like the Bird
After a Dr. J dunk
The courtside judge said good lord
They shooting hoops
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They playing basketball
They shooting hoops
Yeah
They playing basketball
Lunch from a hot dog stand, a pretzel and a pop
We've been playing all day
We've had this court non stop
The city sun is hot now
And the courts they steaming
Bright-eyed young ball handlers are believing and a-dreaming
Hoping some day all this playing will be paying
That's what all the sideline junkies smoking reefer keep saying
They shooting hoops
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They playing basketball
They shooting hoops
Yeah
They playing basketball, baby
Yeah, this is a summer scene
You know what happens downtown
Ooh, it happens anywhere there's a ball and a court to be found
Oh, cooling in a fountain
Or chilling in the shade
Oh, sunny days at the playground
They're all city made
You can't loosen up
Oh, too much bussiness overdue
Too much responsibility to do what I do
Yeah, keep this in mind
Yeah, you gotta hear what I say
'Cause in order to work
First you gotta play
They shooting hoops
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They playing basketball
Oh, they shooting hoops
Yeah
They playing basketball
Hey, pass it over here
