[Intro]
In a game of chess
There are two kingdoms
But only one,
Can be victorious
[Verse]
Chess is a game of strategy
A war between chocolate and vanilla
It’s a game you could get lost in
If there were no central pillar
There are rules of course
Best learn before you begin
Now shake hands with your opponent
And may the best man win…
[Interlude]
[Verse]
It’s chess not chequers
You have to attack and defend
The squares form straight lines
But your knights can bend
As the game develops
Pieces are removed
Choices will grow fewer
Once you settle in the groove
[Bridge]
Don’t blame the board...
Don’t blame the rules...
Don’t curse the hands
that made the moves
[Chorus]
White bishop takes rook...
Check...
The king cannot castle
Your pawns are gone
Your queen's forsaken
We know the truth...
You dirty rascal
It's not me...
That ends up defeating you
It's every move...
You made yourself.
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Your pawns are gone
Your queen is forsaken
Both knights are retired
Your castle’s taken
Your kings in a corner
There's no legal move to make
Looks like the game is over chum
It’s time to say…
Checkmate
[Outro]
