Lyrics:

Board Games
Bet you didn’t know I would play
Board games:

Who said that fun can’t be clean?
(Fun can be clean!)
Chess & checkers, obviously
Getting a triple word score in Scrabble
Grabbing cash & assets in Monopoly
In Risk, taking over countries
Pandemic healing outbreaks globally
In Battleship, you sunk me
In Memory, I’m not so swell

Color me up in Pictionary
Tells, cards, and bluffing in Poker playing
In Blackjack, 21’s King
In Roulette, red or black predicting
In Scattergories, clever word devising
Some games so sweet, like that Land of Candy
In Chutes & Ladders, upward climbing
In that questions game, you keep on Who Guessing?

Pick whichever game you want, that would please you
Pick whichever game that you haven’t played in a while
From ERS, right down on to Speed
Making these cards fascinating,
Now that’s my kind of night

Playing Parcheesi in my Grandparents’ basement
Ping Pong playing is just the best,
When you volley well, I’m impressed
These memories are tugging at my heart
They have risen in my mind’s eye yet again
When I was older than a baby, but not aged enough to be called an adult just yet:
I was called my Daddy’s little Scubber,
& My Mom’s Mo-lis, Lis, & Annie Anne
Playing Connect 4, & Tic, Tac, Toe with both of them

Who said that fun can’t be clean?
(Fun can be clean!)
Chess & checkers, obviously
Getting a triple word score in Scrabble
Grabbing up cash & assets in Monopoly
In Risk, taking over countries
In Pandemic, outbreaks globally
In Battleship, you sunk me
In Memory, I’m not so swell

The Rat Race is hard for me, but I still just want to try
Cash Flows to Investments,
You gotta have some smart planning for later on in life!
In order to guess the killer, the weapon used, at the scene of the crime
Use the Clue that’s right in front of your eyes to recognize
Thinking quickly to avoid the terrors living at 13 Dead End Drive
Girl Talk tonight, come play for some real sweet fun, all right!

That Nintendo Switch is mega cool,
Play it indoors or outside
Air hockey calling to me,
First to 7, bragging rights

Pull out Crosswords, Word Searches, & Sudoku on a break
Masterfully, beating me at Laser Tag, make no mistake
Trivial Pursuit’s testing your mind, Stratego saving
If I came up and read your mind, oozing clairvoyance

To match the picture to its box, get to work, puzzle grind
Wake up your mind
Flex those mental muscles until they become well defined
Maintaining this integration, your’s and mine
Maybe we will fly
Soar through each other’s sweet game highs tonight

Play, play:
Me versus you, me versus you
Solid and Liquid Snake, in Metal Gear, box hiding too
From cold to warm, my bombs in Exploding Kittens just found you
I never meant to intrude
I’m not trying to be rude

Had to know for certain,
You weren’t spying
Like Secret Hitler deceiving
He’s tricking
He’s my biggest fear, cause he’s always lying
With each game, such new demands; living in board game heaven

And I don’t understand, how in all these games, you school me
You’ve grown to be outstanding
At JENGA building
I won’t fret, or moan, or pout about (to you) losing
Domino stacks, keep me up counting all night

Who said that fun can’t be clean?
Chess & checkers, obviously
Getting a triple word score in Scrabble
Grabbing up cash n’ assets in Monopoly
In Risk, taking over countries
In Pandemic, healing outbreaks globally
In Battleship, you sunk me
In Memory, I’m not so swell
