Survey · sung from Black's side

Verse 1

Knight to f6, pawn to e6 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6

Knight f3, bishop b4, check 3.Nf3 Bb4+

He wants his bishops, I want it quick

Queen to e7, he plays g3 4.Bd2 Qe7 5.g3

Knight c6, bishop takes d2 5...Nc6 6.Bg2 Bxd2+

Pawn d6, I castle short, I'm free 7.Nbxd2 d6 8.0-0 0-0

Chorus

Bishop b4, I give the check 3.Nf3 Bb4+

Queen to e7, he plays g3 4.Bd2 Qe7 5.g3

Knight c6, bishop takes d2 5...Nc6 6.Bg2 Bxd2+

Give the bishop, keep it smooth and free

Verse 2

He plays e4, I answer e5 9.e4 e5

He plays d5, knight back to b8 10.d5 Nb8

My e-pawn holds, the centre's locked

The square d7 is where my knight will wait

Don't hop the knight to e4 early, it's bait

Chorus

Bishop b4, I give the check 3.Nf3 Bb4+

Queen to e7, he plays g3 4.Bd2 Qe7 5.g3

Knight c6, bishop takes d2 5...Nc6 6.Bg2 Bxd2+

Give the bishop, keep it smooth and free

Bridge

He has the space, I have the calm

His bishop sits on the long diagonal

The calmest opening you'll ever play

Half the games end even anyway

Chorus

Bishop b4, I give the check 3.Nf3 Bb4+

Queen to e7, he plays g3 4.Bd2 Qe7 5.g3

Knight c6, bishop takes d2 5...Nc6 6.Bg2 Bxd2+

Give the bishop, keep it smooth and free

Outro

Bishop b4, I give the check 3.Nf3 Bb4+

Trade it off, ride the sunset, no regret
