Let's Play Life

Wally Pleasant


I've got a twelve pack of beer and the food's on its way 
A brand new risk board game and I'm ready to play 
You can go first after the pieces have been dispersed 
From the Northwest Territory to Madagascar 
You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen by far 
And I wish you luck on your quest to rule the world 
And I can't help but smile as your army attacks 
I bet Napoleon Bonaparte never felt this relaxed 
Please don't get mad if I make up the rules as we go 

There's so much to risk, there's so much to lose 
If you sank my battleship, I'd still look for clues 
My pursuits aren't trivial; you have a monopoly on my heart 
You can twister around but please don't tear it apart 
Baby, next time, let's play life 

Well it's Friday night and I can't help my fascination 
With the way the light hits your face and world domination 
As the Ukraine gets attacked from the west 
And when the rolling dice stops and are little game ends 
If you empires destroyed can we still be friends 
Please take a card I wouldn't want to cheat you 

There's so much to risk, there's so much to lose 
If you sank my battleship, I'd still look for clues 
My pursuits aren't trivial; you have a monopoly on my heart 
You can twister around but please don't tear it apart 
Baby, next time, let's play life 

(Checkers) 
No, no, no 
(Chess) 
Moves way to slow 
(Sorry) 
Uh, I've got to go 
(Scrabble) 
Can't get into the flow 

There's so much to risk, there's so much to lose 
If you sank my battleship, I'd still look for clues 
My pursuits aren't trivial; you have a monopoly on my heart 
You can twister around but please don't tear it apart 
Baby, next time, let's play life 

And we could fly from the board up to the stars 
In our little plastic astral cars 
Baby, next time, let's play life 

And if you accepted my invitation gladly 
I would thank god for Milton Bradley 
Baby, next time, let's play life
