Split His Pawns, Push My D

Tartakower 6.c3 · sung from White's side

Verse 1

He plays the Caro, I stay steady,

knight takes f6, pawn to c3, 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Nxf6+ exf6 6.c3

his f-pawns doubled, split already,

the open e-file, wide and free.

Chorus

Bishop to d3, queen to c2, 6...Bd6 7.Bd3 O-O 8.Qc2

knight to e2, I castle too, 6...Bd6 7.Bd3 O-O 8.Qc2 Re8+ 9.Ne2 h5 10.O-O

pawn to h3, his h-pawn's done, 6...Bd6 7.Bd3 O-O 8.Qc2 Re8+ 9.Ne2 h5 10.O-O h4 11.h3

my d-pawn dreams of d5, I run.

Verse 2

His knight to d7, bishop to d2, 11...Nd7 12.Bd2

knight to f8, my rook to e1, coming through, 12...Nf8 13.Rae1

the e-file's mine, d5 is the break,

a passed d-pawn is what I make,

don't rush c4, let the rooks come first,

queens stay on, I keep the thirst.

Chorus

Bishop to d3, queen to c2, 6...Bd6 7.Bd3 O-O 8.Qc2

knight to e2, I castle too, 6...Bd6 7.Bd3 O-O 8.Qc2 Re8+ 9.Ne2 h5 10.O-O

pawn to h3, his h-pawn's done, 6...Bd6 7.Bd3 O-O 8.Qc2 Re8+ 9.Ne2 h5 10.O-O h4 11.h3

my d-pawn dreams of d5, I run.
