Play On, Michael
Performed by (in order of appearance): Kevin Nealon, David Spade,
and Aerosmith on 09 Oct 1993 (Jeff Goldblum)
Oh, I've seen Magic and I've seen Bird,
I saw Kareem retire but I never said a word,
but I always thought I see you play
one more time again.
Runaway, Mike better come back,
got season tickets, can't get my money back.
Don't you know that you're so crowd pleasing,
Won't you stick around for one more season?
Play on, play one more year
play for the fans and play for the cheers.
Play the Sonics, play the Knicks too,
Even the Celtics, we'll still root for you.
I've seen you score 500 points.
Want to see you score 500 more.
Just to be a man, you should take it from a man.
Score 1,000 points on a basketball court.
Micheal Jordan, Micheal Jordan, Micheal Jordon, Micheal Jordan.
Micheal, A, Micheal, O, Micheal Jordan.
Oh, Yippe yo, yippe yay,
Keep Jordon in the muther!!! ?/&^% house.
Micheal Jordan, where you think your going
With your tongue hanging out and your bald head showin'?
Don't you know you're in a higher class,
come back before a pimp slap your ?/&^%.
Ee, Oh, yamma yamma, are you good enough,
Please don't quit yet Micheal, oh yeah.
Oh, Ah, Oh, lamma beda bota,
Your the best dribbler, oh yeah.
Oh, Ah, Oh, lamma beda bota,
Who's Pippen gonna pass to, oh yeah.
Oh, Ye, Er, Yamma dinga dungo,
It's so boring, oh yeah.
Play on, play one more year.
Play against ??? play against Laimbeer.
Take the basketball, throw it through the hoop,
Do a 360 and slam it a-la-oop.
He's out playing is as big as a whale,
Everybodys playing, everybodys saying things
Michael don't forget about your endorsement money.
Everybodys playing, everybodys saying
Won't you sleep on this.
Micheal baby, won't you sleep on it?
Won't you sleep on it, and give us an answer in the morning.
Won't you sleep on this.
Michael baby, won't you sleep on it?
Won't you sleep on it, and give us an answer in the morning.
Play on for one more year.
One thing seems very, very clear.
Play on, play on, PLAY ON, PLAY ON,
Play on Michael, Play on!
