Текст (слова) песни: Various - Quartet (a Model Of Decorum And Tranquil



Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus
MOLOKOV:
We wish, no must, make our disgust at 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,
Our player`s sporting attitude`s beyond all praise,
as any neutral would attest
But we concede the fact his masters bend the rules is not a
player`s fault --
We`ll overlook their crude political assault
and under protest will proceed
MOLOKOV:
We wish, no must, make our disgust at this abuse perfectly clear
we`re here for chess -- are the U.S.? How can you make such a claim?
MOLOKOV: ARBITER:
If your man`s so sweet Point 17
Then why his fighting talk? No one-way screen
If he`s not a cheat Will be allowed
Then why on earth In the hall
Did he go take a walk?

FLORENCE:
Why let him loose? I am not surprised
He`ll soon reduce He wanted fresher air
This great event Once he realized
To a brawl There was no hope
Of your lot playing fair
It`s very sad How sad
To see the ancient and To see
Distinguished game What used
That used to be To be
BOTH:
A model of decorum and tranquillity
Become like any other sport
A battleground for rival ideologies
To slug it out with glee
THE RUSSIAN: MOLOKOV:
Through the elegant yelling We wish, no must, make our disgust
Of this compelling dispute At this abuse perfectly clear
Comes the ghastly suspicion We`re here for chess -- are the U.S.?
My opposition`s a fruit If so, why foul the atmosphere?
FLORENCE: ARBITER:
I don`t suppose Point 23
You`d understand the strain The board will be
and pressure
getting where he`s got Made in Sweden
For then you`d simply call him Non-aligned wood
highly strung and not
Imply that he was one of those
THE RUSSIAN: MOLOKOV:
But how can you It seems to us
Work for one who There`s little point in waiting here
Treats you like dirt? all night for his return
Pay must be good And since a peaceful match is our sole concern
We won`t make an official fuss
FLORENCE:
I`m not getting rich In short we rise
My only interest Above your guy`s
Is in something which Tantrums, dramas,
Gives me the chance Dirty tricks
Of working with the best.
THE RUSSIAN: ARBITER:
I can only say Point 31
I hope your dream comes true No game begun
Till that far-off day By noon goes on
I hope you cope After six
With helping number two.
THE RUSSIAN & FLORENCE:
How sad
To see
ARBITER & MOLOKOV:
It`s very sad to see
The ancient and distinguished game that used to be
ALL:
A model of decorum and tranquillity
Become like any other sport
A battleground for rival ideologies
To slug it out with glee
