Chess - Commie Newspapers (feat. Adam Pascal and Idina Menzel) lyrics

rate me

Florence:

Well, we can't complain that

You've been ignored by the press.

Freddie:

What they say? what they say?

Florence:

They're not too polite.

Freddie:

They say I'm a shit?

Florence: [Spoken]

Well, yes. They pulled you to pieces--

[Sung]

In five different languages.

The Times:

"You thrives on unpleasantness."

[Spoken]

Le Monde:

"Frederick Trumper..."

[Speaks French]

Freddie:

I don't believe that they can't see my game.

I'm like that tennis player

What's-his-name.

They love to hate me

And for us that's dollars!

Florence:

[Speaks German]

Freddie:

Hey, look, here's a piece

That some idiot's written on you.

[Spoken]

"Florence Vassy, petite Hungarian-born

Personal assistant.

[Sung]

His gentle companion--"

If they only knew!

Florence: [Spoken]

What do you mean?

I've always been gentle with you, Freddie.

Both:

"She stands by her champion--

Freddie: [Spoken]

Oh, I like this.

Both:

Whose demands

Are so infantile."

Freddie: [Spoken]

I don't like this.

Florence:

If you don't like it,

Then it's up to you.

They like the Russian,

They could like you too.

Freddie:

Commie newspapers.

Of course the bastards

All support the Russian.

Florence:

But Sergievsky seems

Such a sweet opponent.

So why do you abuse him all the time?

[Spoken]

Freddie, I love you very much, but just for once

don't go on about the Russians at the press

conference, okay?
