THE CHESS SONG
The mistral blows... like a bad fight in a bad dream in a bad night in a bad scene in a bad show on a sad screen in the echo of a mad scream while Boo Boo... Boo Boo advances her queen
She loves her queen, but goes down on her knights Will even sleep with a bishop if she likes his looks Fighting for her king, smiting any pawn that bites she’ll coddle her corners frying prawns for her rooks She’ll drill you with blacks or kill you with whites with little to-do, old Boo Boo... will punch out your lights
The mistral blows and blows... like a bomb the south to cleanse a vicious means to purified ends like the scolding voices of balding boyfriends like a million choices and fashion trends like a bad fight in a bad dream in a bad night in a bad scene in a bad show on a sad screen or a torpedo homing in on a submarine while Boo Boo surveys the board, unsheathes her sword, and advances her queen
She loves her queen, but it’s victory her thing and she’ll gambit her dame to get to your king Fingers tipped with knives and daggers in her eyes She’ll mow down your guys and watch you agonize She’s a mean machine dancing over the squares to catch you prancing in your worst unawares Yeah, Boo Boo knows chess, will your queen decapitate and with lethal address, Boo Boo will your king checkmate
The mistral blows and blows and blows... like Sami snow, like ice floe prose God huffing His puff, putting us in our place strutting his stuff o’er the whole human race like a bad fight in a bad dream in a bad night in a bad scene in a bad show on a sad screen like a dying banjo down to one string while Boo Boo runs your knight through, and impales a bishop or two killing your crew, kilning piece after piece, she cooks every last one of your star-crossed geese sculpting you blue and skinning you green... Boo Boo advances her queen like a torpedo eye on a submarine, Boo lets fly her queen
