Chess - Quartet Broadway Lyrics

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 the 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
MOLOKOV & ARBITER
How sad
It's very sad to see
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
