Verse 1
e4 meets d5, he takes, queen takes, knight c3, queen a5 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5
She sits on a5 out of reach and keeps my hopes alive
He plays d4, knight f6, knight f3, bishop f5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 Bf5
His d-pawn wants the board, my bishop's out, I thrive
Chorus
e4, d5, he takes, I take, knight c3, queen a5 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5
Knight f6, bishop f5, pawn e6, bishop b4, then takes c3 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 Bf5 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bd2 Bb4 8.a3 Bxc3
Bishop on f5 outside the chain keeps my game alive
He takes c3, queen to b6, I'm safe and free 9.Bxc3 Qb6
Verse 2
He takes c3, my queen to b6, she asks for more 9.Bxc3 Qb6
He castles short, his king tucks in behind the door 10.O-O
Knight to c6, and now I lean on d4 10...Nc6
Never leave my queen where a knight on d5 can score
Chorus
e4, d5, he takes, I take, knight c3, queen a5 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5
Knight f6, bishop f5, pawn e6, bishop b4, then takes c3 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 Bf5 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bd2 Bb4 8.a3 Bxc3
Bishop on f5 outside the chain keeps my game alive
He takes c3, queen to b6, I'm safe and free 9.Bxc3 Qb6
Bridge
Sometimes it's bishop c4 first, I still play knight f6 4.Bc4 Nf6
Then pawn to d4, we're back on the same old tracks 5.d4
Or pawn to d3, he keeps it slow, he keeps it tight 5.d3
The centre opens early here, so bring the fight
Chorus
e4, d5, he takes, I take, knight c3, queen a5 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5
Knight f6, bishop f5, pawn e6, bishop b4, then takes c3 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 Bf5 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bd2 Bb4 8.a3 Bxc3
Bishop on f5 outside the chain keeps my game alive
He takes c3, queen to b6, I'm safe and free 9.Bxc3 Qb6
Outro
e4, d5, he takes, I take, knight c3, queen a5 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5
Bishop on f5, outside the chain, that's how I play
