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)



 



Hoo!, hoo!



(Sing it for the people ya'll)



 



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 ya'll)



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
