Verse 1
When you’re running into home
With the game winning run
Throw the winning touchdown
When the clock's at zero one
When you cross the finish line
Way ahead of the rest
You rise above the others
When you’re put to the test
Chorus
Give me knucks
For a job well done
Give me knucks
Or when you’re having fun
Give me knucks
When you know you’re number one
There’s one thing that I’ve gotta have
Just give me some knucks
Verse 2
When you land the big account
After lots of late nights
The verdict's in your favor
'Cause your case was airtight
Negotiate your contract
With those big dollar signs
You finally break the story
And it makes the headlines
Chorus
Give me knucks
For a job well done
Give me knucks
Or when you’re having fun
Give me knucks
When you know you’re number one
There’s one thing that I’ve gotta have
Just give me some knucks
Verse 3
Finally reach the top
Despite the long, hard climb
When you slam it to the bucket
With some major airtime
When you ace the match point
And you win in straight sets
When you beat all the odds
With your winning bets
Chorus
Give me knucks
For a job well done
Give me knucks
Or when you’re having fun
Give me knucks
When you know you’re number one
There’s one thing that I’ve gotta have
Just give me some knucks
Refrain
Now there are lot's of people
Who like to call it “the bump”
But they call it that
'Cause they're a bunch of chumps
“The bump” is fine for
Game-show hosts and Presidents
First Ladies and Wonder Twins
It's all well-meant
But for those of us
Who are in the know
There's really only
One way to go
By now you know
What I'm talking about
Let's hear you all say it
Just give me...
Just give me some knucks
Verse 4
When you make it through the rapids
On a big class five
When you see the checkered flag
On the long, hard drive
When you’re tearing up the powder
On a double diamond slope
Break the air-speed record
When you push the envelope
Chorus
Give me knucks
For a job well done
Give me knucks
Or when you’re having fun
Give me knucks
When you know you’re number one
There’s one thing that I’ve gotta have
Just give me some knucks
