[Intro]
Em7  Cm                    G  A7
Hey this is radio station WSKEE
              Em7               Cm                      G            A7          
we're taking calls on the WISH line, making your wacky wishes come true. (Hello?)

[Chorus]
  Em7               Cm         
I wish I was little bit taller,
               G      
I wish I was a baller,
         A7                        
I wish I had a girl who looked good
        Em7     
I would call her
         Cm                            G 
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
           A7        
And a six-four Impala

[Verse 1]
  G                    B7      
I wish I was like six-foot-nine
                    C   
So I can get with Leoshi
           G                                    
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
Em                 B7          
You know I see her all the time
                     Am7              
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
D                                  
I can scheme a way to make her mine
G                  B7        
Cause I know she's livin phat
                C                  G  
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball

So how am I gonna compete with that
Em                      B7                
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
           Am7              
I'm always last to be picked
Dx4
And in some cases never picked at all
G                 B7         
So I just lean up on the wall
                 C                              G    
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls

Who came to watch their men ball
Em           B7                     
Dag y'all! I never understood, black
        Am7                 D  
Why the jocks get the fly girls

And me I get the hood rats
G               B7                 
I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
               C                       G       
Got hit with a bottle, and put in to a hospital

For talkin' that mess
Em               B7                         Am7 
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
                D                              G  
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
       B7               
Glad I came to my senses
     C                               G      
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
                Em                     B7              
Overcome by the thoughts of me and her together, right?
   Am7                      D                     
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type

[Chorus]

I wish I was little bit taller,
               G      
I wish I was a baller,
         A7                        
I wish I had a girl who looked good
        Em7     
I would call her
         Cm                            G 
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
           A7        
And a six-four Impala

[Chorus]
  Em7               Cm         
I wish I was little bit taller,
               G      
I wish I was a baller,
         A7                        
I wish I had a girl who looked good
        Em7     
I would call her
         Cm                            G 
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
           A7        
And a six-four Impala

[Verse 2]
  G                  B7     
I wish I had a brand-new car
                   C        
So far, I got this hatchback
         G                               
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
Em                  B7              
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
         Am7                  D                                   
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat, but that's flat
G                       B7                      
And do you really wanna know what's really whack
      C                    
See I can't even get a date
G                             
So, what do you think of that?
             Em                    B7  
I heard that prom night is a bomb night

With the hood rats you can hold tight
    Am7                     D
But really tho' I 'm a figaro
                                      G    
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
B7                                C           
So many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
          G                                
Well then I'ma have to get in my car and go
Em         B7               
I take the 110 until the 105
Am7            D                             
Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
G               B7                         
Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
      C              G  
In a concrete jungle and
                                 Em
These girls just keep passin' me by
    B7                   Am7
She looks fly, she looks fly
         D             
Makes me say my, my, my

'Cause everyday would be a Friday
          G                        
You could even speed on the highway
