chess in concert – quartet (a model of decorum and tranquility) lyrics

[molokov]
we wish, no, must, make our disgust
with this abuse perfectly clear
we’re here for chess
are the u.s.?
if so, why foul the atmosphere?

[florence]
i must protest– our delegation
has a host of valid points to raise

[the arbiter]
it’s not just black and white
if i may coin a phrase
as any neutral would attest

[florence]
but we concede
the fact his masters bend the rules
is not your player’s fault
we’ll overlook your crude political -ssault
and under protest we’ll proceed

[molokov]
if your man’s so sweet
then why his fighting talk?
if he’s not a cheat
then why on earth did he go take a walk?
[florence]
i am not surprised
he wanted fresher air
once he realized
there was no hope
of your lot playing fair [molokov]
why let him loose?
he’ll soon reduce
this great
event
to a brawl
[florence & anatoly]
how sad
to
see [molokov & arbiter]
it’s very sad to see
the ancient and distinguished
game that used to be

[all]
a model of decorum and tranquility
become like any other sport–
a battleground for rival ideologies
to slug it out with glee

[anatoly]
i would say with regard
to him, it is hard to rebut
ever-growing suspicions
my opposition’s a nut

[florence]
i would have said
you’d understand the strain
and pressure getting where he’s got
for then you’d simply call him highly strung
and not imply that he was off his head

[anatoly]
but how on earth can someone even
half as civilized and nice as you
be part of such a self-destructive point of view?
i hope he pays you what you’re worth
[florence]
i’m not getting rich
my only interest is
in something which
gives me the chance
of working with the best [molokov]
okay, we’ll rise
above your guy’s
tantrums
dramas
dirty tricks

[anatoly]
i can only say
i hope your dream comes true
till that far-off day
i hope you cope
with helping number two
[florence & anatoly]
how sad
to
see [molokov & arbiter]
it’s very sad to see
the ancient and distinguished
game that used to be

[all]
a model of decorum and tranquility
become like any other sport–
a battleground for rival ideologies
to slug it out with glee
