White Keeps It Cool on d5
· sung from White's side
Verse 1
Pawn to d4, bishop to g2 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.Nf3 d6 5.g3 O-O 6.Bg2 Nc6 7.O-O a6
His bishop stares from g7 too
His b-pawn aches to hit b5
I want the space, the long slow ride
Chorus
Pawn to h3, he goes rook b8 8.h3 Rb8
Pawn to e4, pawn to d5, don't wait 9.e4 b5 10.d5 b4
The centre's mine, the space is mine
Smooth on d5, I take my time
Verse 2
Knight to e2, queen to c2 11.Ne2 Na5 12.Qc2 c6
Knight to d4, he plays c5 13.Nfd4 c5
Knight to b3, pawn takes back 14.Nb3 Nxb3 15.axb3
The a-file's mine, I'm on the attack
No early e5, that trades the queens too soon
My pawn on d5 keeps the groove in tune
Chorus
Pawn to h3, he goes rook b8 8.h3 Rb8
Pawn to e4, pawn to d5, don't wait 9.e4 b5 10.d5 b4
The centre's mine, the space is mine
Smooth on d5, I take my time
