[Intro — empty court] [Sneakers squeak softly. A basketball bounces slowly.] Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. [A-bao voice] That’s a BIG ball. [Pause] So what? Let’s play. [Beat enters — basketball bounce becomes part of the rhythm] Bounce. Bounce. Left. Right. Bounce. Bounce. Hold it tight. ⸻ [Verse 1] Little A-bao on the court, Red hat low and legs too short. Ball comes bouncing to the knee— Almost knocks down A-bao— [A-bao] HEY! Not funny! [Beat resumes] Dribble left, dribble right, little shoes are moving light. One more bounce, one more try— Look at A-bao go! ⸻ [Chorus] Bounce with me, bounce with me, Feel that rhythm— one, two, three. Left, right, move your feet, Ball and heartbeat make the beat. Bounce with me, come and play, Miss that shot? That’s okay. Get it back, try again— A-bao’s shooting— SWISH! ⸻ [Instrumental Dribble — workout section] [Basketball bounce integrated into percussion. Sneaker squeaks. Funky bass groove.] Bounce-bounce. Cross. Bounce-bounce. Turn. [Instrumental] Left. Right. Cross it over. Again. [Long instrumental basketball groove] ⸻ [Verse 2] A-bao looks up at the rim— Whoa. That’s high. [A-bao] Very high. [Pause] Okay. Here I go. Bend those knees, hold that ball, A-bao’s barely three feet tall. Aim it high, let it fly— Up… up… UP! [Ball hits rim] CLANK! [Silence] A-bao: Again. ⸻ [Build] One more bounce. One more shot. Give it everything you’ve got. Miss it once? Take it back. Miss it twice? Stay on track. No one watching, nothing to prove. Find your rhythm. Make your move. ⸻ [Chorus — bigger] Bounce with me, bounce with me, Feel that rhythm— one, two, three. Left, right, move your feet, Ball and heartbeat make the beat. Bounce with me, come and play, Miss that shot? That’s okay. Get it back, try again— A-bao’s shooting— SWISH! ⸻ [Basketball Workout Break — mostly instrumental] [Strong groove.

Cross! GO! ⸻ [Final Challenge] [Music drops to basketball bounce + heartbeat.] Ten seconds. A-bao has the ball. Ten. Nine. Eight. [Dribble] Seven. Six. [Faster dribble] Five. Four. Three… [A-bao] I got this. Two… One… [Ball launches. Music stops.] … SWISH! [Full music explodes back in] ⸻ [Final Chorus] Bounce with me! Bounce with me! Little feet and big dreams. Left, right, feel that beat— A-bao owns this little street! Bounce with me! Come and play! Fall down? Get up anyway. One more shot, one more grin— You don’t have to be tall to win! ⸻ [Outro] [Basketball slowly bouncing away] Bounce… Bounce… Bounce… [A-bao] Again? [One final bounce] Of course.
