[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 a**ault
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 and 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 a 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

It's very sad to see
The ancient and

That used to be [ALL]
A model of decorum and tranquility
