The game is on
The game was on again on Friday
We've been players in the game
Sometimes we were the winners
And others...hey, it's just a game!
The players have all lined up
there are five out on the field
Let's see if someone scores tonight
And which one of them will yield
Three guys lined up and facing
Two women opposing them
All were ready, set to go
Let's get started then
White sweater, jeans
The first to move
It looks like we'll see a pass
But, from here his jeans are baggy
5 yard loss for baggy ***!
The women laughed and smiled
They were on defence right from the start
The guys would have to send their best
If they were gonna win their hearts
Red workshirt, chinos, ballcap
Makes his way and gets quite far
He's armed with two tequilas
He doesn't see their longnecks on the bar
They laughed and drank his offer
He made some progress
second down
He makes off to his buddies
It's left up to their friend in brown
He ventures out to the jukebox
Finds something upbeat
for a dance
But chino's turned right on his heels
He's called an audible....second chance
He reaches out to both the girls
He gets their before his friend
If he fumbles this, his game is done
He won't be here at the end
We've seen this game a thousand times
Every week at every club
The players..always different
But the game's the same and there's the rub
Back to our five players
The man in brown got blocked before
He even made it to the girls
But, he barely made it to the floor
Red workshop wins this time folks
It looks like he won't go home alone
But, the girls have got another play
and it involves phoning home
The sudden ring's resounding
It shakes the bar and stops the man
Because while they were out dancing
He saw the rings on both their hands
Like I said, the game is always
going on ...with newer rules
It's amazing how married women
Make the men allΒ Β look like fools
