Eight o'clock, on the dot
The guests arrive, right on time.
Champignon and vino noir
It's a soiree at the house of cards
Sideways glance, hushed romance,
secret signs, pinched behinds,
rendezvous and entre nous
There's intrigue at the house of cards
But beware, beware,
to whom you dare
entrust your secrets
Keep a cat in the bag
At the house of cards.
Cheeky conversations
Lengthy explanations
innuendoes abound at dinner
in the house of cards.
Jalousies run rampant
Sarcasm flows like wine
Tongues more slippery than satin
It's dessert at the house of cards
But beware, beware,
to whom you dare
entrust your secrets
Keep a cat in the bag
At the house of cards.
Poison in the cabernet
A woman's life, fallen prey
For who can surely help reveal
The villain in the house of cards.
But beware, beware,
to whom you dare
entrust your secrets
Keep a cat in the bag
At the house of cards.
Everybody's pointing fingers
The butler is at large
Clueso can't find his notebook
And Sherlock Holmes, well... he's just high!
Beware,
to whom you share
your confidentiality
Don't reveal your hand...
Take care, take care
Lest your fare
As an unsuspecting casualty of the games they play
Lest you fall prey
In the house of cards.
