Take Back With The G-Pawn

Burn 6.Bxf6 gxf6 · sung from Black's side

Verse 1

Pawn to e6, pawn to d5 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5

He pins my knight, I let him trade

Pawn to f5, pawn to a6 7.Nf3 f5 8.Nc3 a6

Doubled f-pawns, but I'm not afraid

My half-open g-file is the price he paid

Chorus

Pawn to e6, pawn to d5 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5

Pawn to f5, pawn to a6 7.Nf3 f5 8.Nc3 a6

My half-open g-file keeps me alive

Two bishops cooking, that's my fix

Verse 2

Down the main line, both kings sit tight

His knight jumps to e5 12.Ne5

Bishop takes g2, his king takes back 12...Bxg2 13.Kxg2

Pawn to b4, pawn to c5 13...b4 14.Ne2 c5

My c-pawn hits his d-pawn, centre in sight

Don't race my f-pawns, they never pass

Chorus

Pawn to e6, pawn to d5 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5

Pawn to f5, pawn to a6 7.Nf3 f5 8.Nc3 a6

My half-open g-file keeps me alive

Two bishops cooking, that's my fix

Bridge

He owns the queenside, his d-pawn wants d5

My doubled f-pawns won't make a passer

Open centre, queens come off, sharp but alive

I trust my g-file and my c-pawn, I'm the master

Chorus

Pawn to e6, pawn to d5 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5

Pawn to f5, pawn to a6 7.Nf3 f5 8.Nc3 a6

My half-open g-file keeps me alive

Two bishops cooking, that's my fix

Outro

Pawn to f5, pawn to a6 7.Nf3 f5 8.Nc3 a6

My half-open g-file, watch him burn
