Gave a Pawn, Took the Files
Survey [A57-A59] · sung from Black's side
Verse 1
My knight on f6, my pawn on c5
His d-pawn stands tall on d5
I leave my b-pawn out on b5
He wants e4 and a pawn to keep
Chorus
He takes on b5, I play a6 4.cxb5 a6
He takes again, I play g6 5.bxa6 g6
Bishop g7, castle, rook takes a7 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.e4 O-O 8.a7 Rxa7
A pawn for the a-file and the b-file
One pawn down, I squeeze all day
Verse 2
Knight f3 comes, I play d6 9.Nf3 d6
He plays his bishop to e2 10.Be2
Bishop to a6, he castles short 10...Ba6 11.O-O
Knight to d7, my rooks come next 11...Nbd7
Don't rush the attack, the squeeze is slow
Chorus
He takes on b5, I play a6 4.cxb5 a6
He takes again, I play g6 5.bxa6 g6
Bishop g7, castle, rook takes a7 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.e4 O-O 8.a7 Rxa7
A pawn for the a-file and the b-file
One pawn down, I squeeze all day
Bridge
He's a pawn up and the engine agrees
But his a-pawn and b-pawn are targets for me
My rooks want the a-file and the b-file
Two games in three won't end in a draw
Chorus
He takes on b5, I play a6 4.cxb5 a6
He takes again, I play g6 5.bxa6 g6
Bishop g7, castle, rook takes a7 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.e4 O-O 8.a7 Rxa7
A pawn for the a-file and the b-file
One pawn down, I squeeze all day
Outro
He takes on b5, I play a6 4.cxb5 a6
The a-file and b-file are mine
