Verse 1

My bishop waits on g2

the long diagonal runs through

he took my pawn, it sits on c4

he holds it tight, I'll settle the score

Chorus

Knight to a3, pawn takes c5 7.Na3 c5 8.dxc5 c3

his pawn runs down to c3

knight to b5, knight takes c3 9.Nb5 Na6 10.Nxc3 Nxc5 11.Be3 Nfe4

and the pawn comes home to me

Verse 2

My bishop on e3 eyes c5

knight takes e4, he takes it back 12.Nxe4 Nxe4

bishop to d4, we trade them down 13.Bd4

bishop takes d4, my queen takes back 13...Bxd4 14.Qxd4

queen takes d4, knight takes d4, queens gone 14...Qxd4 15.Nxd4

not knight to c3, it never scores

Chorus

Knight to a3, pawn takes c5 7.Na3 c5 8.dxc5 c3

his pawn runs down to c3

knight to b5, knight takes c3 9.Nb5 Na6 10.Nxc3 Nxc5 11.Be3 Nfe4

and the pawn comes home to me
