   C ome on let's play, upon this day
   H ave a good game, I do say
   E xtra time, some they may
   S ome you win, some you lose
   S ome you pick, some you chose.

   P lay the game, long or short
   A weful to lose, do not retort
   W in some games, without a doubt
   N ows the time, you can shout

   B e you high, or be you low
   I f you can, have a go
   S ome moves fast, some moves slow
   H appen a win, you never know
   O pen up, how you may
   P awns move first, some they say

   K ick it off, start the game
   N ow you may lose, there is no shame
   I f you can, play with a grin
   G o on then, you may just win
   H ave a game, you will see
   T oday you may, just play me

   R ound and round, the game does go
   O h I lost, must not crow
   O pened up, much to soon
   K ing is trapped, what a buffoon

   Q ueuing up, for a game
   U out there, or on the train
   E ven now, the time ticks by
   E leven seconds, I hear you cry
   N o more time, oh well, goodbye

   K ing no value, that is true
   I mportant is he, to me and you
   N obody said, you would win with ease
   G ame anyone, oh yes, me please

   C ast your eye, far and wide
   H as your opponent, something to hide
   E very move, made with stealth
   C ount those taken, it is your wealth
   K ing and queen, in good health

   M ove you must, with great care
   A ttack the king, if you dare
   T oo many games, it's getting late
   E ven so, must check my rate
