Bouncin' on a hardwood floor
The pop of a metal backboard
A layup with a good two-step
The way it sounds droppin' through the net
A quick steal, an alley-oop
An end to end run and shoot
The pick and roll is a beautiful sight
Old school ballin’ all day and night
I love basketball, I love basketball
I love basketball, I love basketball
Anytime night or day
Get your game on, we can play
Two on two, a one on one
A full-on five let’s get it done
Show me your juke and jive
(Come on, show me) keep that ball alive
When March comes callin’ ya know what that means
Lady Cats be ballin’ in the Sweet Sixteen
I love basketball, I love basketball
I love basketball, I love basketball
———Zone defense or man-to-man
Gonna shut down that lane
Anyway I can
It’s time to find a pick-up game
Maybe down at Jacob's Park
Until the sun starts dippin’ down
And the rim disappears into the dark
I love basketball, I love basketball
I love basketball, I love basketball
Come on Arizona
Get out on the floor
Ya know ya love the game
I love ya even more
Let me see your sweet jumper
Give that ball a little kiss
Drop it in pretty, ya not gonna miss
Don’t think twice, drop it in nice
If ya wanna quick three
Give it to me
Coach Adia
Ya gonna take our Lady Cats real far
Our beloved Lute is smilin’ down
From a shinin’ star
You’re a gym rat
You’re just like that
You’re always in the know
Where the next game’s at
You can’t keep yourself from ballin’
I think that it’s your callin’
But it was Lute y’all
That put us on the map
Now it’s the Lady Cats
That’s where it’s at
In ‘97 it was heaven
When the Wildcats won
We had Bibby, Jason Terry & Miles Simon
