chess in concert - commie newspapers lyrics
florence:
well we can’t complain
that you’ve been ignored by the press.
freddie:
what’d they say? what’d they say?
florence:
they’re not too polite…
freddie:
they say i’m a sh-t?
florence:
well, yes. they pulled you to pieces…
in five different languages,
the times: “you thrive on unpleasantness.”
florence: (in french)
“le monde: freddie trumper, la honte des ?cheques.”
freddie:
i can’t believe that they don’t see my game.
i’m like that tennis player, what’s his name?
they love to hate me and for us,
that’s dollars!
florence: (in german)
freddie:
hey look here’s some piece that
some idiot’s written on you.
“florence v-ssey: pet-te, hungarian-born personal -ssistant.”
“his gentle companion…”
ha! if they only knew.
florence:
what do you mean? i’m always gentle with you, freddie!
freddie and florence:
“she stands
by her champion.”
freddie:
i like this!
freddie and florence:
“whose demands
are so infantile.”
freddie:
i don’t like this.
florence:
if you don’t like it then it’s up to you.
they like the russian they could like you too.
freddie:
commie newspapers!
of course the b-st-rds all support
the russian.
florence:
but sergievsky seems a sweet opponent.
so why do you abuse him all the time?
freddie, i love you very much but please,
just for once, don’t go on about the russians at the press conference, okay?
