My Pawns March to e5

Verse 1

His bishop hides on g7,

I push my pawn to f4, 4...d6 5.f4 O-O

Four pawns across the fourth rank,

And d4 is what he's aiming for.

Chorus

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

Knight to c3, pawn to e4, 2...g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4

Pawn to f4, the centre's mine, 4...d6 5.f4 O-O

I'll break through e5 in time.

Verse 2

Knight to f3, he strikes with c5, 6.Nf3 c5

Pawn to d5, bishop to e2, 7.d5 e6 8.Be2 exd5

I take on d5, then castle short, 9.cxd5 Bg4 10.O-O Nbd7

Pawn to h3, bishop takes on f3, 11.h3 Bxf3 12.Bxf3

My kingside four aim at e5,

Don't rush while his d6 stands guard.

Chorus

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

Knight to c3, pawn to e4, 2...g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4

Pawn to f4, the centre's mine, 4...d6 5.f4 O-O

I'll break through e5 in time.

Bridge

His pawn on c5 leads the queenside,

My pawns on e4 and f4 claim space,

Few games here end in peace,

The engine calls it level ground.

Chorus

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

Knight to c3, pawn to e4, 2...g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4

Pawn to f4, the centre's mine, 4...d6 5.f4 O-O

I'll break through e5 in time.

Outro

Pawn to f4, four pawns strong, 4...d6 5.f4 O-O

And e5 is where I belong.
