Bishop Out Before the Door

Verse 1

My pawn on c6 guards d5, that is my start

Pawn to d4, pawn to d5, a solid heart 2.d4 d5

Pawn to e5, he takes the space and thinks he is smart 3.e5

My bishop comes to f5 before the door can close 3...Bf5

Knight to f3, pawn to e6, and everybody knows 4.Nf3 e6

Chorus

Pawn to d4, I push my pawn to d5 2.d4 d5

Pawn to e5, my bishop comes to f5 3.e5 Bf5

Knight to f3, then pawn to e6 behind 4.Nf3 e6

Bishop out first, then I close the door, by design

Verse 2

Bishop to e2, pawn to c5, bishop to e3 5.Be2 c5 6.Be3

Pawn takes d4, knight takes d4, my knight to e7 6...cxd4 7.Nxd4 Ne7

Knight to d2, my knight to c6, his knight to f3 8.Nd2 Nbc6 9.N2f3

Bishop to e4, my bishop sits where it is free 9...Be4

Don't rush the queen's knight out while my c-pawn stands

First the d4 trade, then the knights come out as planned

Chorus

Pawn to d4, I push my pawn to d5 2.d4 d5

Pawn to e5, my bishop comes to f5 3.e5 Bf5

Knight to f3, then pawn to e6 behind 4.Nf3 e6

Bishop out first, then I close the door, by design

Bridge

Knight to d2, I take on e4, he takes it back 3.Nd2 dxe4 4.Nxe4

Bishop to f5, knight to g3, bishop back to g6 4...Bf5 5.Ng3 Bg6

A calm and closed affair, the queens leave rather quick

The d5 pawn is my rock, I grind it brick by brick

Chorus

Pawn to d4, I push my pawn to d5 2.d4 d5

Pawn to e5, my bishop comes to f5 3.e5 Bf5

Knight to f3, then pawn to e6 behind 4.Nf3 e6

Bishop out first, then I close the door, by design

Outro

Bishop to f5 before I shut the door 3...Bf5

The bishop breathes on f5, that is what it is for
