Oh

|
See you, you in there dancin',
|
|
And I'm in here needing questions and answers
|
|
|
|
(Ha!, ha!), hey!, (ha!, ha!)
|
|
Ha!, hoo!, ha!, hoo!, ha!, hoo!, ha!
|
|
|
|
The dance is in
|
|
When they're mine
|
|
Try to learn the rules
|
|
Don't mind showin'
|
|
Equal chances (taught)
|
|
For our amuses
|
|
Not much can beat the odds
|
|
No excuses, let's play the skin game
|
|
|
|
(Ha!, ha!, ha!), hoo!, (ha!, ha!, ha!), ooh!,(ha!, ha!)
|
|
Sing it!, ha!, hoo!, ha!, (sing it!), sing it!, ha!, hoo!, (your choice), ha!
|
|
|
|
You say your set
|
|
So let's get started
|
|
Try to be the best
|
|
But don't be that smart
|
|
You know what your brother gets
|
|
No need to complain
|
|
Just figure out, that there's a way to play,
|
|
To play the skin game
|
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
The skin game is still around, sing it!,
|
|
But you can't keep a good man down
|
|
(play the skin game)

(Ha!, ha!, ha!), hoo!, ha!, (ha!, ha!), hoo!, (ha!, ha!) ha!, ( ha!), hoo!

|
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
|
|
Can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't
|

Keep a good man down
|
|
|
|
And I'm in here needing questions and answers
|

(Ha!)
|
|
Hoo!

|
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
|
|
(And I'm in here needing questions and answers)
|
|
|
|
Outside lookin' in, in, in
|
|
The door is open, but you can't get in
|
|
Something's in the way
|
|
It's a skin game (oh, just a skin game)
|
|
Just a skin game
|
|
Let's play the skin game (game)
|
