The Game is a Foot
Bruce had been hired by Rue,
who didn't know what to do.

He washed, shaved, and slicked back his hair,
then headed for the hotel, hoping Sallie would be there.
He snooped at the desk until he found the number of her door,
then headed upstairs, knocked once, and then once more.
His story was made up, his alibi tight.
If all went well, he'd be staying with Sallie tonight.

A knock at her door, it had better be Jake,
For his own sake,
He hadn't come home last night after Sallie had put him in his place.
She peered out, but it was not Jake she did see
But a handsome stranger with hair as slick as can be.
She knew his type well of this gentleman caller in the hotel.

Sallie put on a sweet smile,
and it'd been a while
since she had some fun of her own.
Something to pass the time until Jake dared to come home.
