Skin in the Game (feat. Christine Ebersole & Kerstin Anderson)

Brocade, that would do Cloth of gold might go better with the jade Yes, it's true But the fabric isn't new Silk is good If it's laced If it's not, have it fitted Understood Not too chaste And make sure to cinch the waist You can tie the belt to reinforce its shape Silk is fit to be tied Let the hens and cows lace up their corsets You've got nothing to hide When you decide to play a woman's game of thrones You learn what to use Every event, a competition of collarbones You win or you lose So you choose the material, the shade, the touch Not too thick and not too much Or it hides your frame Don't go undressed But might I suggest You never underestimate your Skin in the game The goldsmith, for one His apprentice is fond of me, I'm told Oh, how fun Have you met the banker's son? He's obscene Now, be smart I suppose, if his father knows the queen Win his heart Popularity's an art There are men you need, and men you need to watch Sort the wheat from the chaff So the trick is knowing who'd proceed to Campaign on my behalf Just for a laugh, I'll try a woman's game of thrones I'm ready to play Watch where you step, you mustn't trip on the stepping stones That lie in your way Every day is another opportunity One more shot at history I can stake my claim Life is too short There's people to court And gaining their support will give me Skin in the game Proper ladies need skin in the game Of laying foundations Skin in the game Of husband and wife Skin in the game Of public relations Skin in the game of life It's who you know, what you say, how you dress That makes you stronger than a lioness I don't know about that My dear, there's always been more than one way To skin a cat You've got the mind to win a woman's game of thrones And that's what it takes Power belongs in any kingdom to she who owns The bed that she makes Serve the cakes, ring the wedding bells and blow the horns For the queen-to-be and Queen of Thorns Time to earn the name We play to win With what lies within There's plenty more than skin providing Skin in the game Proper ladies need skin in the game Of womanly virtue Skin in the game Of building rapport Skin in the game Let no besmirch you For wanting more Wanting more than skin in the game Of love and war!
