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

[WHIZZER]

[MARVIN & WHIZZER]
Life's a sham and
Every move is wrong
We've examined
Every move as we move along
[MARVIN]
Winning is everything to me
[WHIZZER]
Nothing is everything to me
[MARVIN]
Winning is everything to me
[WHIZZER]
Nothing is everything to me
Except sex...
[MARVIN]
Move a pawn

Good first move

Quite alright
Take a turn
[MARVIN]
Thank you kindly
[WHIZZER]
Move the pawn
Move the pawn
Take my hand

[WHIZZER]
More's the pity
Since you need a man...

What should I do now?
[MARVIN]

[WHIZZER]
How should I behave myself?
Maybe we should call it quits
[MARVIN]

Life's a sham and every move is wrong
We've examined every move as we move along
[WHIZZER]
Marvin...!
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
This has got to come to a stop, Marvin
[MARVIN]
This had got to come to a stop, Whizzer
[WHIZZER]
This has been a lousy but
[WHIZZER & MARVIN]
Fabulous flop
[MARVIN]
Anyone understand?
All I want's a kiss
Anyone understand?
[WHIZZER]
Don't start explaining
I'm sick of explaining
(MARVIN) AND [WHIZZER]
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
[MARVIN & WHIZZER]
This had better come to an end
