"The Chess Game" lyrics

[MARVIN:]
That's the king. Treat him nice
Use some brains; now protect him

[WHIZZER:]
Yes, I know
Here I go

[MARVIN:]
Play the game

[WHIZZER:]
Please, don't watch me
I can do it!

[MARVIN:]
Have a little scotch

[WHIZZER:]
Shit, I blew it
Maybe you could show me where
I fear I've lost my head

[MARVIN:]
Do you want my help?

[WHIZZER:]
No, I don't
I can think it through myself

[MARVIN:]
Start again. We've seen the worst

[WHIZZER:]
I'll go first

[MARVIN:]
Move a pawn

[WHIZZER:]
No, sir

[MARVIN:]
Move

[WHIZZER:]
Where?

[MARVIN:]
There

[WHIZZER:]
Here?

[MARVIN:]
Move a pawn

[WHIZZER:]
Who?

[MARVIN:]
Not the queen

[WHIZZER:]
Who?

[MARVIN:]
Jesus

[MARVIN & WHIZZER:]
Life's a sham and
Every move is wrong
We've examined
Every move as we move along

[MARVIN:]
Winning is everything to me

[WHIZZER:]
Nothing is everything to me

[MARVIN:]
Winning is everything to me

[WHIZZER:]
Nothing is everything to me
Except sex...

[MARVIN:]
Move a pawn

[WHIZZER:]
And money

[MARVIN:]
Good first move

[WHIZZER:]
Quite alright
Take a turn

[MARVIN:]
Thank you kindly

[WHIZZER:]
Move the pawn
Move the pawn
Take my hand
Play the game

[MARVIN:]
God you're pretty

[WHIZZER:]
More's the pity
Since you need a man...

[MARVIN:]
What?

[WHIZZER:]
Who's brainy...

[MARVIN:]
Or...

[MARVIN & WHIZZER:]
Witty

[MARVIN:]
Move

[WHIZZER:]
What should I do now?

[MARVIN:]
Move

[WHIZZER:]
Where?

[MARVIN:]
There

[WHIZZER:]
How should I behave myself?
Maybe we should call it quits

[MARVIN:]
This game shits

[WHIZZER:]
Let me win

[MARVIN:]
Yes, sir

[WHIZZER:]
Please

[MARVIN:]
Yes

[WHIZZER:]
Thanks

[MARVIN:]
Wait!

[WHIZZER:]
Whizzer wins!

[MARVIN:]
Wait!

[WHIZZER:]
Whizzer wins!

[MARVIN:]
Wait!

[WHIZZER:]
Checkmate!

[MARVIN & WHIZZER:]
Life's a sham and every move is wrong
We've examined every move as we move along

[WHIZZER:]
Marvin...!

Whizzer's supposed to make the dinner
Be a patsy, lose at chess
Always bravely acquiesce
Clip the coupons, make the dinner
And love him
This has got to come to a stop, Marvin

[MARVIN:]
This had got to come to a stop, Whizzer

[WHIZZER:]
This has been a lousy but

[WHIZZER & MARVIN:]
Fabulous flop

[MARVIN:]
Anyone understand?
All I want's a kiss
Anyone understand?

[WHIZZER:]
Don't start explaining
I'm sick of explaining

[MARVIN & WHIZZER:]
And this had better come to a stop
(Whizzer) (Marvin)
Now, (Whizzer) (Marvin)
Ciao, (Whizzer) (Marvin)
Bend
This had better come
This had better come to a
This, this, this, this

[WHIZZER:]
This had better come to an end

[MARVIN:]
This had better come to an end

[MARVIN & WHIZZER:]
This had better come to an end
