Queen on d5, Pawn on d4

2...Qxd5

Verse 1

Pawn to e4, pawn to d5, the fight is on the line 1.e4 d5

Pawn takes on d5, queen takes back on d5, she is fine 2.exd5 Qxd5

White wants a tempo on that queen and room to grow

Black wants his queen to stay and rule the centre slow

The knight jumps have their own songs, here pawn to d4 we show 3.d4

Chorus

Pawn to d4, knight to c6, knight to f3 3.d4 Nc6 4.Nf3

Bishop to g4, bishop to e2, castles long 4...Bg4 5.Be2 O-O-O

Queen stays home on d5, the pawn is in her eye

Pile up on d4 and watch the centre fly

Verse 2

The rook lands on d8 and the pawn on d4 groans

Queen and knight and rook all lean upon its bones

White guards it with the queen and knight, keeps the king from harm

When the black pawn jumps to e5, do not grab it, friend

The queens come off, your king stays home, e5 falls in the end

Chorus

Pawn to d4, knight to c6, knight to f3 3.d4 Nc6 4.Nf3

Bishop to g4, bishop to e2, castles long 4...Bg4 5.Be2 O-O-O

Queen stays home on d5, the pawn is in her eye

Pile up on d4 and watch the centre fly

Bridge

Among the strongest games the black side wins the most

Nakamura took the black side three times and won the post

The d-file and the e-file open from the start

Pieces come out fast and fighting is the art

Chorus

Pawn to d4, knight to c6, knight to f3 3.d4 Nc6 4.Nf3

Bishop to g4, bishop to e2, castles long 4...Bg4 5.Be2 O-O-O

Queen stays home on d5, the pawn is in her eye

Pile up on d4 and watch the centre fly

Outro

Queen on d5 stays, the pawn on d4 is the aim

Pile up, keep your king safe, and you will know the game
