Knight Says Check, King Stays Home
5.Re1 Nf6 · sung from White's side
Verse 1
My bishop on b5, his knight on f6
Pawn to e5, knight to c3 6.e5 Nd5 7.Nc3 Nc7
Bishop takes c6, his pawn takes c6 8.Bxc6 dxc6
Doubled c-pawns, the structure's for me
Chorus
Knight to e4, knight to f6, check 9.Ne4 b6 10.Nf6+ Kf8
His king on f8, his castling's wrecked
Knight back to e4, my pawn on e5 11.Ne4 Bg4
His doubled c-pawns, that's where I thrive
Verse 2
Pawn to d3, his knight to e6 12.d3 Ne6
My e-pawn holds, his rook on h8 sits
My knight on e4 hits c5
His f-pawn wants f6, my e-pawn stays alive
Don't hop to g5, that's a nosedive
Slow squeeze, queens on, that's how I survive
Chorus
Knight to e4, knight to f6, check 9.Ne4 b6 10.Nf6+ Kf8
His king on f8, his castling's wrecked
Knight back to e4, my pawn on e5 11.Ne4 Bg4
His doubled c-pawns, that's where I thrive
Bridge
A calm old road, one main line long
His bishops sing, but his c-pawns are wrong
My e-pawn cramps his king on f8
Patience, friend, the queens stay late
Chorus
Knight to e4, knight to f6, check 9.Ne4 b6 10.Nf6+ Kf8
His king on f8, his castling's wrecked
Knight back to e4, my pawn on e5 11.Ne4 Bg4
His doubled c-pawns, that's where I thrive
Outro
Knight to e4, knight to f6, check 9.Ne4 b6 10.Nf6+ Kf8
His king on f8, his castling's wrecked
