When the rook takes pawn
Potential queen is gone
When the knight is dark
You might not see the dawn
When the path’s unclear
Who will calm your fears
The rook takes king
The rook takes king
When hope is lost
Who will pay the cost
Surrender’s hard
If others hold the cards
You can’t back out
If you’re a good boy scout
The rook takes king
The rook takes king
Bridge:
Escape from the box
You gotta be a wily fox
The trap’s gonna spring
But will it draw you in
You’ll get no quarter
Unless you play to win
Set up the players
And it begins

Well, the rook takes pawn’s
Like a game of chess
Cuz you know James Bond, yo,
He’s like the best
And the supervillains all just waitin around
While the aston martin doesn’t make a sound
If the knight is dark
you don’t see the dawn
Just call the man
when your queen is gone
He ain’t gonna toss in the towel just yet
Yo, the baccharac table’s still taking bets
The rook takes king
‘scape from the box
Yo, the rook takes king
Like a wily fox
And the rook takes king
Will it draw you in
Yo, the rook takes king
Gotta play to win
Hey, the rook takes king
Be a good boy scout
Cuz the rook takes king
Yo, tag yer out
And the rook takes king
But surrender’s hard
Yo, the rook takes king
When you hold the cards.
This cloak and dagger stuff makes me nervous, you know
Gotta whip out my walther ppk
Gun down some bad folks
Does this mean I get the girl
I mean I deserve some lovin don’t you think
Remember when sex was safe and espionage was dangerous?
