[MOLOKOV] We wish, no, must, make our disgust For this abuse perfectly clear We're here for chess -- Are the US? If so, why foul the atmosphere?
[FLORENCE] I must protest -- our delegation Has a host of valid points to raise.
[ARBITER] It's not just black and white If I may coin a phrase As any neutral would attest.
[FLORENCE] Though we concede The fact your masters bend the rules is maybe not your fault If they withdraw their psychological assault Then under protest he'll proceed.
[MOLOKOV] If your man's so sweet Then why his fighting talk? If he says we cheat Then why on earth did he go take a walk?
[FLORENCE] I am not surprised he wanted fresher air Once he realized there was no hope Of your guys playing fair.
[FLORENCE & ANATOLY] How sad To see
[MOLOKOV & ARBITER] It's very sad to see The ancient and distinguished game that used to be
[ALL] A model of decorum and tranquility Become like any other sport A battleground for rival ideologies To slug it out with glee.
[ANATOLY] I would say with regard to Him it is hard to Rebut Ever-growing suspicions My opposition's A nut.
[FLORENCE] I would have said You'd understand the strain and pressure getting where he's got For then you'd simply call him highly strung and not Imply that he was off his head.
[ANATOLY] But how on earth can someone even Half as civilized and nice as you Be part of such a self-destructive Point of view? I hope he pays you What you're worth.
[ARBITER] I call this tune No one's immune to my power Once in that hall.
[MOLOKOV] In that case I must ask you Why you now Preside over a brawl.
[FLORENCE] I'm not getting rich My only interest Is in something which Gives me the chance Of working with the best.
[ANATOLY] I can only say I hope your dream comes true Till that far-off day I hope you cope With helping number two.
[FLORENCE & ANATOLY] How sad To see
[MOLOKOV & ARBITER] It's very sad to see The ancient and distinguished game that used to be
[ALL] A model of decorum and tranquility Become like any other sport A battleground for rival ideologies To slug it out with glee.
