[Verse 1]
Just in case you feel a trace of doubt or even nervous tension
Let me draw the latest score to your attention
Not the score the witless core of commentators are debating
Come, admit, who gives a shit for Elo rating?
[Verse 2]
No, I prefer, and I'm sure you concur
To see who's ahead psychologically, for example
We have on tap an inscrutable chap
Whose thoughts never stray from the state of the play
[Verse 3]
It's so difficult to concentrate if
You have left your native country for a woman who has plans of her own
It's not easy for a chap to excel
Feeling guilty as hell, having left his wife to face the music alone
[Verse 4]
But, even worse, imagine if his ladies met
Well, then I bet
The atmosphere 'round here would be a little strained
As he explained
[Verse 5]
How could he do what he's done to those two
Most wonderful girls, yes, I love you both
Most amusing
Starting them scratch, they'll torpedo his match
His horsepower dead on the board and in bed
[Chorus]
Bit by bit the pieces fit, the Soviet machine advances
Not one move that won't improve our nation's chances
We predict a stunning victory both on the board and off it
This will show the traitor, no one rats with profit
[Refrain]
Oh, we're gonna smash that bastard
Make him wanna change his name
Take him to the cleaners and devastate him
Wipe him out, humiliate him
We don't want the whole world saying
"They can't even win a game"
We have never reckoned on coming second
There's no use in losing
[Refrain]
We can feel the flame of triumph burning
Bit by bit the pieces fit
Our people's pride returning
Soviet machine advances
Not one move that won't improve our nation's chances
[Verse 6]
No, I prefer, and I'm sure you concur
To see who's ahead psychologically, for example
We have on tap an inscrutable chap
Whose thoughts never stray from the state of the play
[Chorus]
Bit by bit the pieces fit, the Soviet machine advances
Not one move that won't improve our nation's chances
We predict a stunning victory both on the board and off it
This will show the traitor no one rats with profit
[Outro]
Ah, la-la-la
