Eve Babitz Lyrics

First he pushed a pawn

And then she pushed a pawn

Two instead of one

It's called development

He tried to block her queen

Thought he understood the scene

It was elementary

And then he pushed a pawn

He did it en passant

So she lost another one

But then she won it back

By just sliding up to black

Not before he moved to white

With his other knight

And then she took him on

Marcel, he moved it wrong

It's easy to forget

If your partner isn't dressed

Still he opened up the rook

(The one she hadn't took)

On the rank and file

She's got a certain style

She wasn't even seen

When she took his queen

from there, the game was done

Foregone conclusion:

She played Sicilian

Of course he didn't know

For him it was part of the show

But she'd already won

You know why? Why?

Because she pushed a pawn

And now what a surprise

The queen has just arrived

He didn't even see

That it was mate in three

Two, one, Two, one,

Two one, Two three.

He learned his lesson

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn

Don't underestimate a pawn
