I Lock d5 and Swing

Classical 6.h3 · sung from White's side

Verse 1

Pawn to d4, pawn to c4 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4

Knight to c3, knight to f3 2...g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.Nf3

Pawn to e4, then pawn to h3 4...d6 5.e4 O-O 6.h3

His bishop hides on g7

My pawns on c4, d4, e4

Chorus

Pawn to h3, he answers e5 6.h3 e5

Pawn to d5, I close the door 7.d5

My chain runs d5 to e4

Space is mine, I'm asking for more

Verse 2

He plays a5, bishop to g5 7...a5 8.Bg5

Knight to a6, bishop to e2 8...Na6 9.Be2

My bishop pins his knight on f6

His f-pawn longs to strike on f5

Never let his knight live on f4

Chorus

Pawn to h3, he answers e5 6.h3 e5

Pawn to d5, I close the door 7.d5

My chain runs d5 to e4

Space is mine, I'm asking for more

Bridge

The centre locks from d5 to e5

Most games end with someone winning

My edge is small, but d5 is mine

Chorus

Pawn to h3, he answers e5 6.h3 e5

Pawn to d5, I close the door 7.d5

My chain runs d5 to e4

Space is mine, I'm asking for more

Outro

Pawn to d5, I close the door 7.d5

The space is mine, forevermore
