Playin' 'Possum

There’s a little game that you should know
When it’s time to go, but you don’t want to go
Put down your head and don’t make a peep
And everyone will think that you’re asleep
Playin' ‘possum, playin' ‘possum
Playin' ‘possum, playin' ‘possum
It’s the oldest trick and it’s done with ease
Just freeze
The Louisiana ‘possum always wears a grin
Because he likes to play and he likes to win
So when you see him just hanging around
Pretend you’re asleep and don’t make a sound
