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
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)
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)
Hoo!, hoo! (sing it for the people y'all)
Repeat chorus
The skin game is still around, sing it!, But you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't Keep a good man down, Can't, can't, can't, can't, sing it!, can't, can't, can't, can't, sing it!
Repeat chorus
Hoo! Break it down, sing it! Hoo! Sing it! (sing it for the people y'all) Sing it! (sing it!, sing it!, sing it, sing it again!) (sing it again, sing it again, and again, and again, and again, and again)
Repeat chorus
The skin game is still around
See you in there dancin', And I'm in here needing questions and answers.
