Vienna Swing, My F-Pawn Flies

Vienna Gambit 3.f4 · sung from White's side

Verse 1

My knight on c3, my pawn on e4

The f-pawn flies and asks for more

I take e5, queen to f3 3...d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Qf3

My queen hits e4, he must trade with me

Pawn takes c3, bishop to f4 5...Nxc3 6.dxc3 Be6 7.Bf4

Chorus

Vienna swing, come dance with me

I take e5, queen to f3 3...d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Qf3

Pawn takes c3, bishop to f4, see 5...Nxc3 6.dxc3 Be6 7.Bf4

Castles long, my king sits free 7...Nd7 8.O-O-O

The e5 spear, the d-file's for me

Verse 2

He plays c6, knight to e2 8...c6 9.Ne2

The d-file's mine, the f-file too

His queen to a5, my king to b1 9...Qa5 10.Kb1

My bishop guards e5, the job's half done

Never let that e5 pawn fall

He'll push his f-pawn, I hold it all

Chorus

Vienna swing, come dance with me

I take e5, queen to f3 3...d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Qf3

Pawn takes c3, bishop to f4, see 5...Nxc3 6.dxc3 Be6 7.Bf4

Castles long, my king sits free 7...Nd7 8.O-O-O

The e5 spear, the d-file's for me

Bridge

Doubled pawns on c3, my price to pay

Three in five games end in blood, not grey

Queens leave early, the e5 pawn stays

The rook on d1 leads the way

Chorus

Vienna swing, come dance with me

I take e5, queen to f3 3...d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Qf3

Pawn takes c3, bishop to f4, see 5...Nxc3 6.dxc3 Be6 7.Bf4

Castles long, my king sits free 7...Nd7 8.O-O-O

The e5 spear, the d-file's for me

Outro

I take e5, queen to f3 3...d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Qf3

The e5 spear, Vienna's for me
