Basketball Jones Lyrics

(feat. Barry White)

[Chris Rock: singing in falsetto]
Basketball Jooooones
I got a Basketball Jooooones
I got a Basketball Jooooones, oh baby
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, oh!

[Singers sing in background]

[(Barry White) Chris Rock]
(Jones)
Hey, that`s Barry White! (an obsession)
(A burning desire) Barry, you want some chicken?
(The undeniable passion)
Aww, you ??? that singin` stuff
(The love, of someone are some thing)
Y`know you want some chicken!
(Yes, he was a victim...of a Basketball Jones)
In fact, I was a baddest...dribbler in the whole world
(Then one day, his mother bought him a basketball)
And I love that basketball! I took that basketball everywhere I went
You know what? That basketball was like a basketball to me!
C`MON, you cheerleaders..

["Cheerleading" singers sing - Chorus]
Basketball Jones
I got a Basketball Jones (happily)
I got a Basketball Jones ohhh baby ohhhhhh

Wait a minute, y`all not En Vouge!
Where the hell is En Vogue?!
Somebody told me En Vogue was gonna be here
I guess y`all`ll do (Yeah...)
So what y`all doin` after the game? C`mon!

(His basketball was like a member of his owwwwn family)
In fact, better looking than my brother Tony
Didn`t owe me money, and didn`t piss in a bed!
And after the game, I always took a shower wit` my basketball
Every now and then, the basketball gonna pinch my butt
But I didn`t mind, `cause my and my basketball had guts, clean fun
See I am a victim of a Basketball Jones, I`ll take my basketball everywhere
I`ll even put my basketball under the PILLOW!
(Maybe that`s why you couldn`t sleep at night)

["Chorus" starts again as Chris and Barry overlaps]
SING IT! SING IT! SING IT LIKE YA WANNA!!
(Yeah) Eh-eh-eh, act like Puffy`s in the audience
(Sing it out!) Would y`all SHUT UP?!
(Ohhhhh, soooounds sooo sweet) B-Barry, don`t encourage `em!
They got a Basketball Jones
See I like to PLAY it, I know a thang...yeah, heh-heh
What kinda Basketball Jones y`all got?! (sing it out!)
I see y`all runnin` after a lime zone
YEAH! (YEAH!)
I see ya chasin` Penny around!

["cheerleaders" and later Barry raps]
Hey, there`s a Basketball Jones
Basketball Jones`s in the hoouse

[Chris Rock overlaps]
Michael Jordan! MICHAEL JORDAN!
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE MAN WE CAME OUT TO SEE!
Michael Jordan...why don`t you sing?

[Michael Jordan]
Sing? I don`t sing, that`s the other "M.J."

[Chris Rock]
Ohhh, okay, I support you
I go to all your games, and you can`t sing a lil` song for a brotha!
I hope you go bald! Oh, you already bald!

[Chris Rock: singing in falsetto]
Basketball Jooooones, c`mon!
I got a Basketball Jooooones (Tear it up, Chris)
I got a Basketball Jooooones, oh baby (Eat it up!)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus: w/ Barry White singing in background]

Th-That musta been Smokey Robinson!
WHO THE HELL WAS THAT?!
I guess that was me-e-e-e!

(Baby, baby, baby...it`s a craving)
Basketball`s a chicken!
(An uncontrollable yearning)
Do y`all hear Barry White?! Do y`all hear Barry White?!
(The overwhelming emotion.....to a love for someone are some thing)
