The Name of the Game

"The Name of the Game" is a song from the Vampirina episode, "Vee Takes the Court". It is sung by Poppy as she tells Vee about how fun it is to play human basketball and how it is not about winning or losing the game.

Lyrics[]

You dribble and you pass
Though it takes some hard work and sweat
You bank it off the glass
Or throw it up and nothing but net

With some practice and some teamwork
Leave it all out on the court
Then you'll know the joy of playing a sport

It's not about the glory
It's not about the cheers or acclaim
It's the joy of playing
And having fun's the name of the game

Who could refuse competition's call?
'Cause win or lose we'll have a basket-ball

It's not about the trophies
It's not about the fortune or fame
We'll have a blast together
And having fun's the name...
The name of the game
