Musicals - Chess - The Soviet Machine Lyrics
Molokov: [Spoken]Comrades, why are you looking so worried? We are notDealing with the traitor Sogievsky now. Comrade ViigandIs a disciplined, Soviet, chess-playing machine.[Sung]Just in case you feel a traceOf doubt or even nervous tension,Let me draw the latest scoreTo your attention.Not the score,The witless core of commentators are debating.Come, admit,Who gives a shit for Elo rating.No, I preferAnd I'm sure you concur,To see who is aheadPsychologically, for example,We have on tap,An inscrutable chapWhose thoughts never strayFrom the state of the play.All:Viigand!Molokov: [Spoken]Whereas...[Sung]It's so difficult to concentrate ifYou have left your nativeCountry for a womanWho has plans of her own.It's not easy for a chap to excel,Feeling guilty as hell,Having left his wifeTo face the music alone.But, even worse,Imagine if his ladies met,Well then I'll bet,The atmosphere 'round hereWould be a little strained,As she explained.[Claps]How could he doWhat he's done to those two,Most wonderful girls.Yes, I love you both.Soloists:Most amusing!Molokov:Starting them scratchThey'll torpedo his match,His horsepower deadOn the board and in bed.All:Bit by bit the pieces fit,The Soviet machine advances.Not one move thatWon't improve our nation's chances.We predict a stunning victoryOn the board and off it.This will show that traitorNo one rats with profit.But we're goingTo smash that bastard.Make him wanna change his name.Take him to the cleanersAnd devastate him,Wipe him out,Humiliate him.We don't want theWhole world saying"They can't even win a game."We have neverReckoned on coming second.Molokov:There's no use in Soloists:Losing. We can feel the flameOf triumph burning,Bit by bit the pieces fit, Our people's pride returning.The soviet machineAdvances.All:Not one move that won'tImprove our nation's chances.Hoi!Molokov:No, I prefer andI'm sure you concur,To see who is aheadPsychologically, for example,We have on tap,An inscrutable chapWhose thoughts never strayFrom the state of the play.All:La la la la, la la lay la lay laLa la la la la la la la la la laBit by bit the pieces fit,The soviet machine advances.Not one move that won'tImprove our nation's chances.Hey!We predict a stunning victoryOn the board and off it.This will show that traitorNo one rats with profit.Ah ah, la la la la!Molokov:From Moscow toThe Bering Strait,Citizens will hailOur victory.All:In arctic circles,Frozen statesWill join withWarmer climes in reverie.Molokov:And I can say of this affairI was there,Did my share,Played my part.All:And comradesAll will be awareI was thereFrom the startMmm mmm...Viigand:Ah ah...
