Basketball is so much fun
I play it in the hot hot sun
My friend doesn’t like playing it on a court
Because It seems to give him a big wart
he likes to play it at the Newcastle airport
But he just has to give the security his passport
Later on, we go to the park
We play there for hours until it gets dark.
The next morning, we have bacon and eggs
I steal my brother’s bacon, he kicks me in my two hairy legs
then I clip him on the nose with two blue pegs.
We go back to the basketball court I dribble up and down,
Later on, my two friends from up the street come down,
we play basketball until nightfall so I get a big frown.
