[Verse 1]
Here's a little somethin' for the body guaranteed
Shake me down, ain't nothin' up my sleeve, oh no
All of the cards on the table, marbles too
It's the real deal, baby, the good stuff just for you, oh yeah
[Bridge]
Everybody wants to play (everybody wants to play)
Everybody wants to play (everybody wants to play)
Ain't no party here today (ain't no party here today)
Look out now — for the real deal
[Verse 2]
Put a little somethin' on the big wheel, play to win
It's the real deal, baby, I know that the fix is in, oh yeah
Later on have a cocktail, if you would
It's the real deal, baby, I know that your credit's good
Oh, it's good, yeah
[Bridge]
Everybody wants to play (everybody wants to play)
Everybody wants to play (everybody wants to play)
Ain't no party here today (ain't no party here today)
You know why? It's the real deal, ahh-woo! You got it, baby
[Vamp]
Here's a little somethin' for the body
Here's a little somethin' for the mind
Here's a little somethin' for the body
Here's a little somethin' for your mind

Everybody wants to play (everybody's got to play)
Look out now — for the real deal, ah!
Everybody wants to play (everybody's got to play)
Look out now — for the real deal, ah!
