《The Day Basketball Was Saved(From ”Goin’ Back to Indiana”/1971 / With Rosey Grier Intro)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Day Basketball Was Saved - Jackson 5 (杰克逊家族)

[00:00:44] Peanuts Popcorn Peanuts Popcorn

[00:00:51] The sporting world's had many teams

[00:00:53] The fans have called first rate

[00:00:56] They had the Yankees in the '40s

[00:00:58] All agreed were really great

[00:01:01] Packers and Celtics piled up records

[00:01:04] Hard to beat

[00:01:06] But good as they all seemed to be

[00:01:08] They tasted of defeat

[00:01:11] No team has ever won them all

[00:01:12] And always stayed on top

[00:01:15] Except that group of superstars

[00:01:17] No team could ever stop

[00:01:20] A bunch of splendid athletes

[00:01:22] Who all stood strong and tall

[00:01:24] They called themselves the Dream Team

[00:01:26] And their game was basketball

[00:01:32] The center a massive collection of bones

[00:01:34] Was known by the nickname of Skyscraper Jones

[00:01:41] The forwards were both brilliant ball handlers too

[00:01:44] Named Kangaroo Carson and Dead-Eye McGoo

[00:01:51] The guards were two giants who played with great cool

[00:01:53] Called Bulldozer Benson and Hookshot O'Toole

[00:01:58] Together they worked like a well-oiled machine

[00:02:00] And ran up such scores it was almost obscene

[00:02:03] The team is unbeatable everyone said

[00:02:05] And if no one can beat them then basketball's dead

[00:02:08] Basketball's dead yes basketball's dead

[00:02:10] No team will beat them so no team can meet them

[00:02:13] The it's the de dead

[00:02:18] But wait folks (Huh it's not )

[00:02:24] From out of Indiana like bees from a hive

[00:02:26] Came a little known team called the Jackson 5

[00:02:29] They came with a mission impossbily tough

[00:02:31] To whip the Dream Team till they holler "Enough "

[00:02:33] We'll razzle your frazzle we'll muzzle you guys

[00:02:36] We'll dazzle each one of you right down to size

[00:02:38] We'll shiver your timbers till all of you fall

[00:02:40] The Jacksons will beat you and save basketball

[00:02:48] A laugh roars up on the Dream Team's side

[00:02:50] And they laughed so hard that they nearly cried

[00:02:52] Go home little boys get off the court

[00:02:55] It's a big man's sport you're much too short

[00:02:57] Too short my foot that's just your way

[00:02:59] Of saying you're afraid to play

[00:03:02] Afraid to play Hear that squirt

[00:03:04] Go home before you all get hurt

[00:03:07] We'd like to get just one thing straight

[00:03:09] We heard you guys was really great

[00:03:11] But so far all we've heard is talk

[00:03:14] So are you going to play

[00:03:15] Or are you going to walk "

[00:03:16] With that the Dream Team got real mad

[00:03:18] And blew what little cool they had

[00:03:21] This time you guys you've gone too far

[00:03:23] We'll show you all how good we are

[00:03:26] We'll play you now but we're so sore

[00:03:29] We may not even let you score

[00:03:30] Oh yeah Oh yeah

[00:03:32] We've heard it all

[00:03:33] Let's cut the talking Let's play ball

[00:03:36] So the teams lined up and the ball was tossed

[00:03:38] And the game got underway

[00:03:40] And the Dream Team knew from the very first tap

[00:03:43] That the Jacksons knew how to play

[00:03:45] They dribbled they passed they faked they shot

[00:03:47] They hustled they drove right on through

[00:03:50] And every time that the Dream Team scored

[00:03:52] Well the Jackson 5 scored too

[00:04:09] When the buzzer went off at the end of the half

[00:04:11] The Dream Team wanted to hide

[00:04:14] They couldn't believe it was happening

[00:04:16] But the score was really tied

[00:04:18] We've gotta stop those guys

[00:04:19] We've gotta stop 'em quick

[00:04:21] We've gotta realize

[00:04:22] They're looking mighty slick

[00:04:23] We've gotta start our drive

[00:04:24] Or think of some good trick

[00:04:25] Stop the Jackson 5

[00:04:27] They're making us look sick

[00:04:28] Sick Sick Sick Sick

[00:04:30] Hey I've got a way

[00:04:33] Let's fill them up with peanuts and popcorn

[00:04:35] And then see how they play

[00:04:38] Hey Mr Vendor listen to me

[00:04:40] Those Jacksons could use some energy

[00:04:42] So pass out the tray and let them grab

[00:04:45] We're such good sports we'll pick up the tab

[00:04:47] We've got a great attack

[00:04:48] We've got them on the run

[00:04:49] If we can hold them back

[00:04:50] Then we'll be number one

[00:04:52] We have the final lap

[00:04:53] The jump will be reveresed

[00:04:54] Just play the second half

[00:04:55] The way we played the first Yeah

[00:04:57] Jackie come and check the score

[00:04:59] I'll be right back guys Don't leave the floor

[00:05:02] Peanuts Popcorn Have a ball

[00:05:04] Free of charge kids Take it all

[00:05:07] Free of charge Is that for real

[00:05:09] Free of charge

[00:05:10] That's some good deal

[00:05:11] Maybe we shouldn't

[00:05:12] Maybe we should

[00:05:14] It may be bad

[00:05:15] And it may be good

[00:05:16] What if Jackie finds out

[00:05:17] Who's going to tell

[00:05:18] Then I guess we might as well

[00:05:21] So the Jacksons ate till the food was gone

[00:05:23] While the cheerleaders cheered the two teams on

[00:05:25] Re-bop re-bop hootie-rootie zackie

[00:05:28] Come on Dream Team let's stop Jackie

[00:05:30] Michael Marlon Tito and Jermaine

[00:05:33] We've got the brawn we've got the brains

[00:05:35] Dream Team Dream Team

[00:05:37] Fly high fly high fly high

[00:05:40] One two three ABC Do Re Mi

[00:05:43] Man Alive Ho ho ho Ho ho ho

[00:05:47] Go go go Jackson 5

[00:05:50] The whistle blew for the second half

[00:05:52] The excitement filled the place

[00:05:54] You could tell both teams were all charged up

[00:05:56] As they stood there face to face

[00:05:59] They dribbled they passed they faked they shot

[00:06:01] They moved with dazzling speed

[00:06:04] But the two teams seemed so evenly matched

[00:06:07] Neither one could hold the lead

[00:06:09] With 15 seconds left in the game

[00:06:11] The Dream team led by one

[00:06:13] They knew if they could freeze the ball

[00:06:16] The Jacksons would be done

[00:06:18] Just then the four young Jackson boys

[00:06:21] Began to moan and groan

[00:06:23] They dropped to the ground with bellyaches

[00:06:25] Leaving Jackie standing alone

[00:06:28] Too much popcorn Too many peanuts

[00:06:30] We had too much junk "

[00:06:32] We're sorry Jackie we let you down

[00:06:35] It looks like the Jacksons are sunk

[00:06:37] The ref called time to remove the boys

[00:06:40] "Game's over " he said "You're through "

[00:06:42] But Jackie said "Look I'll play myself

[00:06:44] If that's what I have to do "

[00:06:47] So the ref gave Jackie the ball and said:

[00:06:49] "There's time for one more play "

[00:06:51] And Jackie said "Well that's all I need

[00:06:54] I know I'll find a way "

[00:06:57] Jackie took the ball and started out

[00:06:59] Way at the end of the court

[00:07:01] But he still had to get past five of the best

[00:07:04] Who ever played the sport

[00:07:06] As the clock kept ticking the seconds away

[00:07:08] No mistake could he afford

[00:07:10] But he went all the way with a brilliant display

[00:07:13] And as the buzzer went off he scored

[00:07:19] All the fans in the stands went wild

[00:07:21] When Jackie won the game

[00:07:24] And the Dream Team said he played so well

[00:07:26] He belonged in the Hall of Fame

[00:07:31] So the Jackson 5 ended up on top

[00:07:36] And we thank them one and all

[00:07:39] For not only did they beat the best

[00:07:42] They also saved the game of basketball
