Sweet Lew Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Power high, power low
You can take ′em all to school
You can fly, wilt the stilt had nothing on you
Lambchops and afro-do, Milwaukee Bucks and a barbecue
Number 33 just like you

Sweet lew, how could you?
Sweet lew, makin' me blue

A Laker trade their Bobby-D for a house, a guru by the sea
A little help from 32, showtime, and worthy
Those were the days, pre-investment spree


Sweet lew, is it true?
Sweet lew, how could you?

I grew up trying to copy you, Bruce Lee, and a kung-fu
Act a jazzman, yogi too
Little did I know, a loose screw
But you had your own shoe
Build him high, build him tall, a taiku with a basketball
Tear ′em down, one and all
7'2" is a long way to fall

Sweet lew, how's the view?
Sweet lew, how could you?
