The Lyrics

Lebron wears his jerseys all around,
Through the halls of high school,
Dunks in all the games,
Mama sent him to the finest school in town.

Lebron, Lebron likes his money,
He'll make a lot they say,
Spends his days driving,
In a Hummer, why wait for the NBA?

He was banned because he wasn't like all the other kids,
Signing shoes that became EBay bids,
And the talk began,
Mr. James, don't understand,
Limits...

And he shall be Lebron!
He's on ESPN.
And he shall be Lebron!
Let's make some money right off of him.
And he shall be Lebron!
He's on ESPN.
Who will get Lebron?

Lebron makes the news near every night,
His games are all sold out,
High school puts his games on Pay Per View,
Making money, it's all those guys care about.

St. Vincent, leaps morality's fence,
Using Lebron as a toy,
Take revenue, go on vacation,
Off of Lebron, Akron's pride and joy.

He was banned because he wasn't like all the other kids,
Signing shoes that became EBay bids,
And the talk began,
Mr. James, don't understand,
Limits...

And he shall be Lebron!
He's on ESPN.
And he shall be Lebron!
Let's make some money right off of him.
And he shall be Lebron!
He's on ESPN.
Who will get Lebron?

And he shall be Lebron!
He's on ESPN.
And he shall be Lebron!
Let's make some money right off of him.
And he shall be Lebron!
He's on ESPN.
Who will get Lebron?

Funny!

I suppose it was just a matter of time before we got a parody (and a good one) about the biggest high school basketball player since Lew Alcindor. And you all know that name, right? You don't? (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) Maybe Phoenix will sign him, and then it's a line I first thought of when Charles Barkley was there: Don't let the Sun go dunk on me!

Lebron seems to be the only thing I hear about these days. From his short suspenbsion for taking the shirts from the sports store, to the referee who's in trouble because he got a picture taken with Lebron. Well, Lebron, like your parody, is pretty good...

Thanks for the comments guys - I heard "Levon" on the radio, and couldn't help but think of Lebron, just kind of came to me - I think we're all waiting to see if he can fill the enormous expectations that are on him now.

Just commenting on the comments left on my parody for the Amiright Idle contest. It's quite unfortunate that one of the judges' scores was so remarkably different than the other two - I guess he didn't get the humor in one of the top sporting stories of the last year. And really... if I can't write parodies about the United States, like Album Cornix suggests, that takes away basically everything that I have to write about. I just thought it was a poor explanation from someone who isn't familiar with the story - don't use your nationality as the excuse. Just venting because I'm a little peeved.
