Pearl Jam - Sweet Lew lyrics
[Pearl Jam - Sweet Lew lyrics]
Power high, power low
You could take 'em all to school
You could fly
Wilt the Stilt had nothing on you
Lambchops and afro 'do
Milwaukee Bucks and a barbecue
Number 33, just like you
Sweet Lew, how could you?
Sweet Lew, making me blue
A Laker trade their Bobby-D
For a house, a guru by the sea
A little help from 32, Showtime, and Worthy
Those were the days, pre-investment spree
Sweet Lew, is it true?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
I grew up trying 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
Sweet Lew, how's the view?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
You could take 'em all to school
You could fly
Wilt the Stilt had nothing on you
Lambchops and afro 'do
Milwaukee Bucks and a barbecue
Number 33, just like you
Sweet Lew, how could you?
Sweet Lew, making me blue
A Laker trade their Bobby-D
For a house, a guru by the sea
A little help from 32, Showtime, and Worthy
Those were the days, pre-investment spree
Sweet Lew, is it true?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
I grew up trying 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
Sweet Lew, how's the view?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
