lyrics

Lady of the Court (Fiske)

Saturday mornin’ she rises outta bed
Sips some coffee, stretches,
Shakes the sleepy out of her head
In t-shirt and shorts and high-tops
She steps out on the stoop
Jogs down to the playground
Where the guys are shootin’ hoops

Chorus
She got pig-tails, 5’4”
Can handle herself on the basketball floor
She knows all the weekend warrior’s names
Down at the park in the pick-up games
Basketball’s her sport
She’s the Lady of the Court

The guys all greet her
They always treat her nice
They’ve come to respect her
Gutsy woman breakin’ the ice
In a man’s basketball culture
She has earned her spot
You can’t take her lightly
She can make her shots

Repeat chorus

Ooo Lalalala she just loves to play
Ooo gets a workout every Saturday
Enjoys hangin’ out, horsin’around with the guys
Talkin’ sports and politics and life
With that sweet sparkle in her eye

Repeat chorus

Saturday afternoon
Her makeover becomes unfurled
As she dresses up for an evening out
Far from that basketball world
Those guys would not recognize her
In make up, short skirt, and high heels
She’s a woman, she’s accomplished
She is awesome, she’s for real

Repeat chorus
