Edna Burgoo - Jeannie C. Riley[00:00:00]

Edna burgoo wore a shoe size number 10[00:00:07]

When the roll was called that fall and class was ready to begin[00:00:12]

She was five feet nine and showin' signs of growin' still some more[00:00:18]

Every time she'd sit down she bump her knees[00:00:24]

And knock her pencils on the floor[00:00:28]

There was one old gripy teacher in the bunch[00:00:32]

Picked on edna for everything from books to the baloney in her lunch[00:00:37]

And edna's temper every day was growin' mighty thin[00:00:44]

So to avoid the clash she changed her class took up gym when basketball begin[00:00:49]

Now the forward on our team was mabel earl[00:00:58]

She refused to let her couch replace her with this big new girl[00:01:02]

So edna won the bench while we moaned and groaned as mabel failed to score[00:01:09]

Now I can't say who done it but at the half[00:01:15]

Someone helped mabel break her toe[00:01:18]

Now the action sure got fast that second half[00:01:25]

With mabel out edna came on strong to bring the hometeam back[00:01:30]

There was no way that ball could miss when edna raised her feet[00:01:36]

And when a mighty throw put it through the hook[00:01:42]

The crowd came screaming off their seats[00:01:46]

Our strappy little guard was emma jean[00:01:50]

No sooner the ball would miss the hook then she'd steal it for our team[00:01:55]

Edna threw the goal so fast the lights couldn't keep up with the score[00:02:01]

And a halftime 80 17 climbed all the way to read 90 84[00:02:07]

Two minutes left showed on the scoreboard clock[00:02:15]

Edna and emma jean were sweatin' like cotton hands on the dock[00:02:19]

With seconds left a faster playin' just about splattered our minds[00:02:26]

For edna had two free shots coming and the score was 90 89[00:02:32]

When edna burgoo put her tootsies on the mark[00:02:42]

Everybody in that place got so quiet it hurt my heart[00:02:47]

She bounced the ball on her fingertips and then she hit the spot[00:02:53]

It was 90 90 but nobody moved and[00:02:59]

She steadied her knees for that second shot[00:03:02]

Made no difference if her shoe was number 10[00:03:06]

We were pullin' for her to make the mark and let our hometeam win[00:03:11]

Then the hats flew high and the crowd went wild when edna's shot was done[00:03:18]

For she made champions of us all with the score of 90 91[00:03:24]
