Chess Game
On this board, the king doesn't rule
He's afraid of the queen and hardly leaves his home
On this board, the king doesn't rule
Even in the horse's leap, he falls.
I'm talking about the chess game
I played a match, took a month!
Before each move, we really think, I want to see
I'm going to checkmate you.
It's the pawn that moves first
Plays the game and goes for it
Clears the way for the bishop
Makes the rook move
But it's only on the board
That my turn comes
I wish everything was
Like a game of chess!
On this board...
Besides being a mental amusement
There's one more special move
For those who come home late again...
Just say you were playing chess.
