The Skin Game - Janet Jackson

Oh
See you, you in there dancin?
And IЈl in here needing questions and answers

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

The dance is in
When theyЈqe mine
Try to learn the rules
DonЈs mind showin?
Equal chances (taught)
For our amuses
Not much can beat the odds
No excuses, letЈare 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 letЈare get started
Try to be the best
But donЈs be that smart
You know what your brother gets
No need to complain
Just figure out, that thereЈare a way to play,
To play the skin game

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you canЈs keep a good man down

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

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you canЈs keep a good man down, (play the skin game)
The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you canЈs keep a good man down

CanЈs, canЈs, canЈs, canЈs, canЈs, canЈs, canЈs, canЈs
Keep a good man down
