(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala 



(Skee-Lo)

I wish I was like six-foot-nine 

So I can get with Leoshi 

Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine 

You know I see her all the time 

Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams 

I can scheme a way to make her mine 

Cause I know she's livin phat 

Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball 

So how am I gonna compete with that 

Cause when it comes to playing basketball 

I'm always last to be picked 

And in some cases never picked at all 

So I just lean up on the wall 

Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls 

Who came to watch their men ball 

Dag y'all! I never understood, black 

Why the jocks get the fly girls 

And me I get the hood rats 

I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble 

Got hit with a bottle 

And I been in the hospital 

For talkin' that mess 

I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city 

That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name 

Glad I came to my senses 

Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach 

Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together 

Right? 

So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type 



(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala



(Skee-Lo)

I wish I had a brand-new car 

So far, I got this hatchback 

And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at 

And when I'm in my car I'm laid back 

I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat 

But that's flat 

And do you really wanna know what's really whack

See I can't even get a date 

So, what do you think of that? 

I heard that prom night is a bomb night 

With the hood rats you can hold tight 

But really tho' I 'm a figaro 

When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello 

Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday 

Well then I'ma have to get in my car and go 

You know I take the 110 until the 105 

Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive 

Cause it's hard to survive when your livin' 

In a concrete jungle and 

These girls just keep passin' me by 

She looks fly, she looks fly 

Makes me say my, my, my 



(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala 



(Skee-Lo)

Hey, I wish I had my way 

Cause everyday would be a Friday 

You could even speed on the highway 

I would play ghetto games 

Name my kids ghetto names Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine 

Yo you know that's on the real 

So if you're down on your luck 

Then you should know just how I feel 

Cause if you don't want me around 

See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound 

Hey, you , what's that sound? 

Everybody look what's going down 

Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh? 

Everybody wants to get down like dat 



(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her 

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat 

And a six four Impala

Yeah
