Lyrics

They're over on the corner
A quarter past three o'clock
Plaid skirts and knee socks
One suckin' on a Newport (Newport)
One eyein' up the half-court (half-court)
One twirlin' her hair with her fingers
Hey, what's up, you know
They're so good to go
Cool as, uh, Mister Freeze
The white girls (white girls)
Are watching (watching)
The black boys
Playin' basketball
Heads bangin' off the backboard
High-tops nobody can afford
Look sharp for the muchachitas
Three points and a foul shot
Somebody scores a bag of pot
Hang out for the disco fever
One-on-one (one-on-one)
They jump the gun (jump the gun)
Everybody shoots the breeze
Hey, what's up, you know
They're so good to go
Cool as Mister Freeze
The white girls (white girls)
Are watching (watching)
The black boys
Playin' basketball
The white girls (white girls)
Are watching (watching)
The black boys
Playin' basketball
