[Verse 1]
Power high, power low, you could take 'em all to school
You could fly, Wilt the Stilt had nothin' on you
Lambchops and afro 'do, Milwaukee Bucks and a barbecue
Number 33, just like you

[Refrain]
Sweet Lew, how could you?
Sweet Lew, makin' me blue

[Verse 2]
A Laker trade their Bobby-D for a house, a guru by the sea
A little help from 32, Showtime, and a-Worthy
Those were the days, pre-investment spree

[Refrain]
Sweet Lew, is it true?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
Uh

[Verse 3]
I grew up tryin' to copy you, Bruce Lee and a-kung-fu
Act a jazzman, yogi, too, little did I know
A loose screw, but you had your own shoe
Build him high, build him tall, a haiku with a basketball
Tear 'em down, one and all, 7'2" is a long way to fall
[Refrain]
Sweet Lew, how's the view?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
