Chess In Concert - Mountain Duet lyrics

Florence: This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid Nothing I say will convince him This isn't a trick. Anatoly: A drink on clear moonlit night-- I relax, she smiles, There's something peculiar Going on. Florence: So through no fault of my own I'm stuck here to carry the can. Embarra**ed, uncertain, marooned. Anatoly: Now she can't be working for them-- I mean us-- She seems to know what she's doing, But where is he? Florence: He has to turn up, He wanted this meeting, Didn't he? Anatoly: Maybe he's scared, But he didn't seem scared In the game. Florence: Oh, I just couldn't care less. He can go right ahead, Go and wreck his career, I know I've done my best. Anatoly: Well, at least She's a good looking spy. Florence: What if my Russian friend Thinks that my plans Are more of an intimate kind? If I don't say something And soon He'll go. Maybe I'm on nobody's side! Anatoly: Listen, I hate to break up the mood. Get to the point, Begin the beguine. Haven't you noticed We are a protagonist short, In this idyllic, Well-produced scene? Florence: He couldn't wait To join you up here. Maybe he walked-- Cable cars scare him. Anatoly: Never mind him, I haven't missed him so far. Both: Maybe it won't do any harm To struggle on without his charm. Funny how all at one I feel That he can go jump off the mountain-- I won't care! Florence: This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid. Anatoly: My dear opponent-- I really can't imagine why. Florence: So I am not dangerous then? What a shame. Anatoly: No, you're not dangerous. Florence: Who could think that of you? You-- Both: You are so strange. Why can't you be What you want to be? You should be scheming, Intriguing, Too clever by half! Anatoly: I have to hand it to you For you've managed To make me forget Why I ever agreed on this farce. Florence: I don't know why Know why Both: I can't think of anything I would rather do Than be wasting my time On mountains with you. Frederick: Who'd ever think it? Such a very pretty setting. Tell me what's the betting, Very pretty plotting, too. No matter-- I've done all your work for you. Florence: [Spoken] Freddie. Frederick: Who'd ever guess it? Daughter in collaboration With the very nation Gave her father third degree. Where's Daddy, dead, Or in the KGB? [Spoken] While my second has been curling up with my Opponent, I have agreed to new terms with Global Television, which in short means more money-- For you as well, but that can't be helped. Therefore, This meeting is unnecessary. The match can continue And we don't have to be friends.
