Oh to be there when Celts and Lakers reigned

Every player played his best with Larry

The limits of hoop wizardry were strained

Watching Magic with the ball was scary

Worthy and Cooper, Magic and Kareem

Parish, Bird and Ainge, Kevin McHale

The way they dished the rock out was supreme

They played as one and oh the ball would sail

The Lakers won five ships just for some fun

And Larry won three rings for his own team

But taken from the league by ninety-one

Were Magic, Larry and of course Kareem

So Detroit won in nineteen eighty-nine

And so ended the age that was divine
