Jeannie C. Riley Edna Burgoo Letras:
Edna Burgoo wore a shoe size No 10 When the roll
was called that fall and class was ready to begin
She was five feet nine and showin' signs of
growin' still some more Every time she'd sit down
she bump her knees and knock her pencils on the
floor There was one old gripy teacher in the bunch
Picked on Edna for everything from books to the
baloney in her lunch And Edna's temper every day
was growin' mighty thin So to avoid the clash she
changed her class took up gym when basketball
begin Now the forward on our team was Mabel Earl
She refused to let her couch replace her with this
big new girl So Edna won the bench while we moaned
and groaned as Mabel failed to score Now I can't
say who done it but at the half someone helped
Mabel break her toe

Now the action sure got fast that second half With
Mabel out Edna came on strong to bring the

hometeam back There was no way that ball could
miss when Edna raised her feet And when a mighty
throw put it through the hook The crowd came
screaming off their seats Our strappy little guard
was Emma Jean No sooner the ball would miss the
hook then she'd steal it for our team Edna threw
the goal so fast the lights couldn't keep up with
the score And a halftime 80:17 climbed all the way
to read 90:84 Two minutes left showed on the
scoreboard clock Edna and Emma Jean were sweatin'
like cotton hands on the dock With seconds left a
faster playin' just about splattered our minds For
Edna had two free shots coming and the score was
90:89

When Edna Burgoo put her tootsies on the mark
Everybody in that place got so quiet it hurt my
heart She bounced the ball on her fingertips and
then she hit the spot It was 90:90 but nobody
moved and she steadied her knees for that second
shot Made no difference if her shoe was No 10 We
were pullin' for her to make the mark and let our
hometeam win Then the hats flew high and the crowd
went wild when Edna's shot was done For she made
champions of us all with the score of 90:91
