Press Conference Lyrics by Chess in Concert Cast

Chess In Concert (Live)

2009

[REPORTER #1]
Does your opponent deserve such abuse?
[FREDDIE, spoken]
All Soviets deserve abuse
[REPORTER #2]
But even you must concede he can play
[FREDDIE, spoken]
Sure, he's the best red on the circuit
I'll give him that
[REPORTER #3]
He hasn't lost for a long time
He could be a tough nut to crack
[FREDDIE, spoken]
Listen, if he gets one game off me
It's because I want to keep press interest going
[REPORTERS]
Why do you persist with vicious attacks
Ungracious remarks re opponents?
It smacks of a lack of conviction
Admit you're under duress
And that your only skill left
Is for money, not chess
If Soviet life's as grim as you claim
Then how come their boys are so good at the game?
Though you swear the American dream is clearly the best
You're no advertisement for life and times in the West
[REPORTER #4]
Why did you risk the whole match breaking down?
[FREDDIE, spoken]
I don't know what you're saying
What are you implying?
[REPORTER #5]
All your outrageous demands, your conceit
[FREDDIE, spoken]
I don't see anything outrageous about demanding what I'm worth
[REPORTER #6]
They pay all that you ask for
And then you demand even more
[FREDDIE, spoken]
I am the reason you're all here
Who had heard of Sergievsky?
[REPORTERS]
It's hard to believe
What we're reporting
Why so disparaging?
Not very sporting
[FREDDIE, spoken]
Are the Communists sporting?
My God!
[REPORTERS]
Tell all this to the
United Nations
Are you an asset to
East-West relations?
[FREDDIE, spoken]
What is this?
What have the Russians ever done for East-West relations?
Have you people have any serious questions?
[REPORTER #7]
Will you be quitting for good if you lose?
[FREDDIE does not respond.]
[REPORTER #8]
How come your second's a girl, lover boy?
[FREDDIE, spoken]
What did you say?
[REPORTER #8]
How come your second's a girl, lover boy?
[FREDDIE storms out, pushing REPORTER #8 out of his way.]
[REPORTERS]
Well, what did I say? He's out of his tree
He's finally flipped and between you and me
He's no hope of retaining his crown in his frame of mind
In fact, he shouldn't have come here, he should have resigned
[FLORENCE & REPORTERS]
Smile, you got your first
Exclusive story (Well, what did I say? He's out of his tree)
He's finally flipped
Now you can (And between you and me he's no hope of)
Bask in his (Retaining his crown in his frame of mind)
Reflected glory (n fact, he shouldn't have come here)
He should have resigned
"Naked, unprovoked" (In this frame of mind he should be dumped, he should resign)
"Yankee aggression" (If he is in this frame of mind he should be dumped, he should resign)
Oh, what a credit to (In this frame of mind he should be dumped, he should resign)
Your great profession!
[REPORTERS]
Well, what did I say? He's out of his mind
He's finally flipped
He should have resigned
