Chess In Concert - Press Conference lyrics

Reporter #1: Does your opponent Deserve such abuse? Frederick: [Spoken] All Soviets deserve abuse. Reporter #2: But even you must Concede he can play. Frederick: [Spoken] Sure, he's the best red on the circuit. I'll Give him that. Reporter #3: He hasn't lost For a long time He could be a Tough nut to crack. Frederick: [Spoken] Listen, if he gets one game off me, it's Because I want to keep press interest going. Reporters: Why do you persist With vicious attacks, Ungracious remarks re: Opponents? It smacks of a Lack of conviction Admit you're under duress And that your only sk** left Is for money, not chess. If Soviet life's as grim As you claim, Then how come their boys Are so good at the game? Though you swear The American dream Is clearly the best, You're no advertisement For life and times In the West. Reporter #4: Why did you risk the whole match Breaking down? Frederick: [Spoken] I don't know what you're saying. What are You implying? Reporter #5: All your outrageous demands, Your conceit. Frederick: [Spoken] I don't see anything outrageous about demanding What I'm worth. Reporter #6: They pay all that you ask for, And then you demand even more. Frederick: [Spoken] I am the reason you're all here. Who had heard of Sergievsky? Reporters: It's hard to believe What we're reporting. Why so disparaging? Frederick: [Spoken] Not very sporting. Are the Communist sporting? My God! Tell all this to the United Nations, Are you an a**et to East-West relations? Frederick: [Spoken] What is this? What have the Russians ever done For East-West relations? Have you people any serious Questions? Reporter #7: Will you be quitting for good If you lose? Reporter #8: How come your second's a girl, Lover boy? Frederick: [Spoken] What did you say? Reporter #8: How come your second's a girl, Lover boy? [Freddie storms out pushing Reporter #8 out of his way] Reporters: Well, what did I say? He's out of his tree He's finally flipped, And between you and me-- He's no hope of retaining His crown in his frame of mind. In fact, He shouldn't have come here, Florence: He should have resigned. Smile, you got your first Well, what did I say? Exclusive story. He's out of his tree He's finally flipped, And between you and me-- Now you can bask in his He's no hope of retaining His crown in his frame of mind. In fact, Reflected glory. He shouldn't have come here, He should have resigned. If he is in this frame of mind "Naked and provoked He should be dumped, He should be resigned. If he is in this frame of mind Yankee aggression!" He should be dumped, He should be resigned. If he is in this frame of mind Oh, what a credit to He should be dumped, He should be resigned. Your great profession! Well, what did I say? He's out of his mind He's finally flipped, He should have resigned.
