Quartet (a Model of Decorum and Tranquility) Lyricsby . From Chess: New York Quartet (a Model of Decorum and Tranquility) by [MOLOKOV] We wish, no, must, make our disgust For this abuse perfectly clear We're here for chess -- Are the U.S.? 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.
