Lyrics

The Game

Ethel entered just to play here
Claims she doesn’t need to win
Daniel’s drinking in the day here
He’ll hang around, likes this town
Find some beer and trouble to sink in

Na na na lay your money down
Na na na play the game

Charlie’s checking the requirements
His ex’s song won just last year
Sarah’s sitting high on her fence
Though she hates the scene a prize might mean
A tiny little boost to her career

Theo thinks we’re all trained monkeys
Learning new tricks to make you smile
But he’s hooked here just like you and me
Rising to the challenge
Take the bait, run a country mile

Todd tells us Judge Joe’s harmless
While his whiskey breath crawls on my skin
Me I mutter, it’s just a contest
It’s no big deal swear that’s how I feel
But I suppose I’d really like to…
