[Verse] Tall hoops on the savannah dry Giraffes gather under sun and sky Spots 'n' stripes on the dusty court Long necks reach where eagles short [Verse 2] They dribble down the dusty lane Hooves thunder like a mighty train Heads up in the clouds so high Dunks echo through the golden sky [Chorus] Long necks in the game of life Hoops and dreams cut like a knife Giraffes on the court so wild Playing free just like a child [Verse 3] Passin' balls through the thorny brush Crowds cheer breaks the endless hush Majestic eyes a burning stare They jump and fly through the air [Verse 4] Tall shadows move by the setting sun Game's still hot as day’s begun Hoops and tails under African moon Stars come alive 'n' they still swoon [Chorus] Long necks in the game of life Hoops and dreams cut like a knife Giraffes on the court so wild Playing free just like a child
