Me Bishop's Out On F4
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bf4 (London System) · sung from White's side
Verse 1
Pawn on d4, knight on f3
Bishop out on f4, free
His knight on f6, his pawn on e6
He plays b6, I play e3 3...b6 4.e3
Chorus
Me bishop's out on f4, that's the key
Pawn to e3, pawn to h3 3...b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.h3 Be7
Knight to d2, bishop to d3 6.Nbd2 O-O 7.Bd3
That's the London, mate, solid as can be
Verse 2
He plays c5, I castle short 7...c5 8.O-O
Me bishop on d3 eyes h7, sport
He hits d4, me e-pawn holds the fort
Mind h5, keep h2, that's me bishop sorted
Chorus
Me bishop's out on f4, that's the key
Pawn to e3, pawn to h3 3...b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.h3 Be7
Knight to d2, bishop to d3 6.Nbd2 O-O 7.Bd3
That's the London, mate, solid as can be
Bridge
Six in ten get settled, win or lose
His long diagonal runs from b7, true
Me pawns on d4, e3, a chain he can't get through
Calmer than most, but we're fighting it through
Chorus
Me bishop's out on f4, that's the key
Pawn to e3, pawn to h3 3...b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.h3 Be7
Knight to d2, bishop to d3 6.Nbd2 O-O 7.Bd3
That's the London, mate, solid as can be
Outro
Pawn to e3, pawn to h3 3...b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.h3
Bishop on f4 first, that's the London way
