The Lyrics

A tribute to the phenom of the hour, Jeremy Lin of the NY Knicks. "Trey" is slang for three point field goal. And for the benefit of those still young enough to bear or sire offspring, "Earl the Pearl" refers to basketball HOFer Earl Monroe who played mostly with the Bullets but won an NBA Championship withthe Knicks
At home in the buzzing Garden
At Madison Square
With Knicks on top
New favorite son
Arms raised in a V
The trey swished as the final horn blew

GM's didn't give attention
To the fact that there was genius there
Lin, Jeremy the Christian
Ruled the court
Jeremy's strokin' .. another trey
Jeremy's strokin' .. another trey

Clearly I remember
Passing on the boy
Seemed like a no hops little puke
Ooooh, but he unleashed the 'Melo
Collapsed the D and set up the corner three
How can we defend
And he hit us with a surprise drive
The crowd left buzzing
Fields wide open
Just like the day, just like the day I spurned
GM's didn't pay attention
And the boy had something that stats couldn't measure
Lin, Jeremy the Christian
Ruled New York
Jeremy's strokin' .. another trey
Jeremy's strokin' .. another trey

Trying to defend him (TRY!)
Trying to contain him (TRY!)
In the half c-o-o-o-o-urt!

Jeremy's strokin' ... another trey
Jeremy's strokin' ... another trey
Jeremy's strokin' .. strokin'
Jeremy's strokin' .. strokin'
Jeremy's strokin' another TREY!!

The singer here would be some notional GM of an NBA team that could have grabbed Jeermy Lin, but didn't (meaning ever GM in the NBA except the Knicks' Glen Grunwald)
