The Lyrics

Don't know the OS? Tacky Edelweiss MIDI here
Great tall guys!
Great 'ball' guys!
Wilt, Shaq, Parish and others!

Coaxed 'em high, let it "fly"
Loved to 'score' given druthers!

Better at 'post' than Spud Webb or Bogues!
Long-shanked rogues with verve frisked

Bed-to-bed?
Wilt's ahead!
Twen-ty thou gals he'd serviced!

~

*Muggsy Bogues: Smallest player in NBA history, standing 5'3" and weighing 136 pounds.

**Spud Webb: One of the shortest players in NBA history, officially listed at 5'7", but reported to have a vertical jump of 44".

***Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille Oneil and Robert Parish all over 7'.

Thanks Alvin and Stuart. Wilt's claim of "twenty-thousand serviced" always seemed a bit of a tall tale if you ask me... what is that? Almost 4 girls a night every night of the year for 15 years straight!
