Chess New York movie - How Many Women lyrics

rate me

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

How many women would drive themselves crazy<br>

By arguing over a game of chess?<br>

Not very many -- the way things are going<br>

There'll soon be one less!<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

Don't believe you, sweetie pie --<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

Listen, Freddie -- I too had ambitions<br>

How did I get waylaid?<br>

How can such a flower<br>

A sensitive soul, a delicate child<br>

Wind up as a nursemaid<br>

Respectably set for the glittering prizes<br>

Instead of which I landed you --<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

You'll get your prizes!<br>

I'm ninety percent of the way to the top of the heap.<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

Thanks -- ten percent -- you got me cheap.<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

No, no, Florence -- I mean we are ninety percent of the way --<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

How many women -- articulate women<br>

With something to shout about --<br>

Spend their time<br>

Playing a game in which silence is golden<br>

And speaking a crime?<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

Maybe if he moved his king....<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

All of my struggles for qualifications --<br>

My nights with Goethe and Proust<br>

Recklessly abandoned<br>

For you who thinks Chekhov is king to G3<br>

And Joyce my college roommate!<br>

But then when I show you a move you can't fathom<br>

I have to admit it feels great --<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

Great news for chess fans!<br>

Yeah, that's how he did it -- yeah, that's how the Communist<br>

plays!<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

Maybe I deserve a raise.<br>

<br>
