Essence of the Game Lyrics

Good evening treasured guests

Welcome to our home

Are those cats?

We invite you to a game

I'm in

We prefer to play in doubles

What's a worthy wager for a cat?

Ssssssouls

Isn't that like permanent?

Anybody else have any reservations?

Ah what the hell there's nothing better to do anyway

We get to play with cats!

You don't need a table

Anywhere will do

For stakes like these we're able

To fit any venue

Just shuffle cut and deal

Kitty!

Debbie!

Get away!

Raise!

Meow

Hiss!

Call

Ow!

Fold

Damn these cats can play

It's the essence of the game

When the odds are stacked against you and the outcome's preordained

Unless you charm cajole and shuffle

For the pleasures to be gained

Every bet is like a catwalk

And your platform is a knife

Every time you up the ante

Satisfaction's in the strife

Feel that feline urgency

Of scratching pawing clawing for your life!

Do you think he's bluffing?

I don't have a clue

I think that he is bluffing

I'll draw Oh Benny-boo

Maybe you distract him

Kitten watch and learn

*Hacking*

A hairball that's disgusting!

I'm fine! Now for the turn

It's the essence of the game

When the odds are stacked against you and the outcome's preordained

Unless you charm cajole and shuffle

For the pleasures to be gained

Every bet is like a catwalk

And your platform is a knife

Every time you up the ante

Satisfaction's in the strife

Feel that feline urgency

Of scratching pawing clawing for your life!

You alley puffs I call your bluff

You tried to scratch paw claw our luck

You take me for a dunce I see

Blinded by expediency!

Your failed deceptions preconceptions

Robbed me of my leniency!

Face your own mortality!

Fine okay we cheated

But please let us explain:

Things got way too heated

Adrenaline's to blame

We started with nine lives

Now we're down to one

The score had to be settled

Our souls are on the run

Every bet is like a catwalk

And your platform is a knife

Every time you up the ante

satisfaction's in the stride

Feel that feline urgency

A scratching pawing clawing for your life

Please I want to live!

We want to live!

Benny-boo hold me!

Kitten you're shuddering!

You're shuddering?

You're shuddering??
