Take on c6, Dance the Cumbia
Exchange 5...f6 · sung from White's side
Verse 1
Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3
Bishop to b5, he plays a6 2...Nc6 3.Bb5 a6
Bishop takes c6, his pawn takes back 4.Bxc6 dxc6
Castles short, he answers f6 5.O-O f6
His c-pawns doubled, that's the crack
Chorus
Pawn to d4, my knight takes back 6.d4 exd4 7.Nxd4
Knight to e2, rook takes on d1 7...c5 8.Ne2 Qxd1 9.Rxd1
Knight to c3, he castles long 9...Bd7 10.Nbc3 O-O-O
Queens are off, the grind's begun
Verse 2
Bishop to e3, eyeing c5 11.Be3
His rook to e8, my rook to d2 11...Re8 12.Rd2
His bishop c6, my rook to d1 12...Bc6 13.Rad1
Two rooks on the open d-file, squeeze begun
Don't rush e5 while f6 holds
Slow is the groove, the ending unfolds
Chorus
Pawn to d4, my knight takes back 6.d4 exd4 7.Nxd4
Knight to e2, rook takes on d1 7...c5 8.Ne2 Qxd1 9.Rxd1
Knight to c3, he castles long 9...Bd7 10.Nbc3 O-O-O
Queens are off, the grind's begun
Bridge
His doubled c-pawns can't make a passer
My kingside pawns are whole and faster
Calmest line you'll ever play
Queens off early, grind all day
Chorus
Pawn to d4, my knight takes back 6.d4 exd4 7.Nxd4
Knight to e2, rook takes on d1 7...c5 8.Ne2 Qxd1 9.Rxd1
Knight to c3, he castles long 9...Bd7 10.Nbc3 O-O-O
Queens are off, the grind's begun
Outro
Pawn to d4, let the queens go home 6.d4
His c-pawns stacked, he walks alone
The whole song is one idea: take on c6, open the centre with d4, trade queens on d1, and let the healthy kingside pawns outlast his crippled doubled c-pawns in a slow endgame.
