[MARVIN]
That's the king, treat him nice
Use some brains, now protect him
[WHIZZER]
Yes, I know
Here I go
[MARVIN]
Play the game
[WHIZZER]
Please, don't watch me
I can do it
[MARVIN]
Have a little scotch
[WHIZZER]
Shit, I blew it
Maybe you could show me where
I fear I've lost my head
[MARVIN]
Do you want my help?
[WHIZZER]
No, I don't
I can think it through myself
[MARVIN]
Start again, we've seen the worst
[WHIZZER]
I'll go first
[MARVIN]
Move a pawn
[WHIZZER]
No, sir
[MARVIN]

[WHIZZER]
Where?

Move a pawn
[WHIZZER]
Who?
[MARVIN]
Not the queen
[WHIZZER]
Who?
[MARVIN]
Jesus
[BOTH]
Life's a sham and
Every move is wrong
We've examined
Every move as we move along
[MARVIN, WHIZZER, BOTH]
Winning is (Nothing is)
Everything (Everything)
To me
Winning is (Nothing is)
Everything (Everything)
To me
[WHIZZER]
Except sex
[MARVIN, spoken]
Move a pawn.
[WHIZZER, spoken]
And money.
[Marvin scoffs.]
[MARVIN]
Good first move
[WHIZZER]
Quite alright
Take a turn
[MARVIN]
Thank you kindly
[WHIZZER]
Move the pawn
Move the pawn
Take my hand
Play the game
[MARVIN]
God you're pretty
[WHIZZER]
More's the pity
Since you need a man

What?
[WHIZZER]
Who's brainy
[MARVIN]
Or

Witty
[MARVIN]

[WHIZZER]
What should I do now?
[MARVIN]

How should I behave myself?
Maybe we should call it quits
[MARVIN]
This game shits

Let me win
[MARVIN]
Yes, sir
[WHIZZER]
Please
[MARVIN]

Checkmate!
[BOTH]
Life's a sham and every move is wrong
We've examined every move as we move along
[WHIZZER, spoken]
Marvin!
(sung)
Whizzer's supposed to make the dinner
Be a patsy, lose at chess
Always bravely acquiesce
Clip the coupons, make the dinner
And love him
[WHIZZER, MARVIN, BOTH]
This has got to come to a stop (This has got to come)
Marvin (To a stop)
This has been a lousy but
Fabulous flop
[MARVIN]
Anyone understand?
All I want's a kiss
Anyone understand?
[WHIZZER]
Don't start explaining
I'm sick of explaining
[MARVIN, WHIZZER, BOTH]
And this had better come to a stop
(Whizzer) (Marvin)
Now, (Whizzer) (Marvin)
Ciao, (Whizzer) (Marvin)
Bend
This had better come
This had better come to a
This, this, this, this
[WHIZZER]
This had better come to an end
[MARVIN]
This had better come to an end
[BOTH]
This had better come to an end
