Flying through the snow

From Boston to LA

In a private jet we go

Recruiting all the way

I hear that cell phone ring

It makes my spirits bright

I know that I can swing into

An in home visit tonight

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

A day or two ago

With assistants by my side

We offered a recruit in Buffalo

But he just could not decide

The recruit was lean and tall

But he could not shoot a lick

I told him he could dunk the ball

And that’s what did the trick

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

A week or two ago

This story I must tell

I took a trip with Orlando,

To a guard we had to sell

His mom and aunt said bye!,

But He asked if he would play

We told him that we could not lie

He’d start on the first day

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

Now we’re down to signing day

Duke’s taken all the best

We hanging in at No. 3

Gonzaga got the rest

Well check the portal soon

To steal a shooter or two

I’ve got so many athletes now

It looks like I’ll platoon

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA

Recruiting tales, recruiting tales

Recruiting all the way

Oh what fun, when they all sign

With a team in the NBA
