| Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones
| Basketball Jones, tengo un Basketball Jones
|
| Got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo
| Tengo un Basketball Jones, oh bebé, oo-oo-ooo
|
| Yes, I am the victim of a Basketball Jones
| Sí, soy víctima de un Basketball Jones
|
| Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin'
| Desde que era un bebé, siempre estoy babeando
|
| In fac', I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood
| De hecho, yo era el peor regateador de todo el vecindario.
|
| Then one day, my mama bought me a basketball
| Entonces, un día, mi mamá me compró una pelota de baloncesto
|
| And I loved that basketball
| Y me encantaba ese baloncesto
|
| I took that basketball with me everywhere I went
| Me llevé esa pelota de baloncesto a todas partes a donde fui
|
| That basketball was like a basketball to me
| Ese baloncesto era como un baloncesto para mí
|
| I even put that basketball underneath my pillow
| Incluso puse esa pelota de baloncesto debajo de mi almohada
|
| Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night
| Tal vez por eso no puedo dormir por la noche
|
| I need help, ladies and gentlemens
| Necesito ayuda damas y caballeros
|
| I need someone to stand beside me
| Necesito a alguien que se pare a mi lado
|
| I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life
| Necesito, necesito a alguien que me haga una selección en la línea de tiros libres de la vida.
|
| Someone I can pass to
| Alguien a quien pueda pasar
|
| Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go
| Alguien para golpear al hombre abierto en el toma y daca
|
| And not end up in the popcorn machine
| Y no acabar en la máquina de palomitas
|
| So cheerleaders, help me out
| Así que porristas, ayúdenme
