bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah
bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah, at the hoop

well, you can run it and can gun it
you can shoot it and can dunk it to the hoop
when the basketball's spinnin'
cotton's net and rim's-a chicken at the hoop
Basketball sensations from basketball nation's at the hoop

Ah, take it to the hoop
Take it to the hoop (oh baby)
Take it to the hoop (oh baby)
Take it to the hoop
Come on, take it to the hoop

Well, you can swing it, you can move it
when the music is groovin' at the hoop
where the moves are the smoothest
and the dunks are the coolest at the hoop
where the college picks get pro ball kicks at the hoop
Tip off!

Let's go to the hoop
Let's go to the hoop (oh baby)
Let's go to the hoop (oh baby)
Let's go to the hoop
Come on, Let's go to the hoop
Tip off!

(interlude with play-by-play from classic NBA games)

Well, you free throw it, you control it
You can even pick-and-roll it at the hoop
where the basketball's-a spinning
and your pro style is a-livin' at the hoop
ABC's the station in the NBA nation at the hoop

You can dunk it, you can;t miss it
when you make the glass-a kissing at the hoop
You can make a softer shot or you can rim it out a lot at the hoop
From the kiddie days to the NBA at the hoop

Ah, take it to the top
Give it all you got (oh baby)
Take it with one shot (oh baby)
Make one to shoot hot
Come on, take it to the hoop
It's good!

Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah
bah bah bah bah. bah bah bah bah, at the hoop
