House of Cards

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.
