Chess on Grass (Part II)

“I’m gonna wait on
With all my boundary riders
I’m gonna wait on
With all my sweepers
I’m gonna wait on
With that long on in place

But I’m gonna keep
A wide first slip
And I’m gonna keep
A wide gully
And I’m gonna keep
A wide approach
Till your mind
Narrows up
And can only see
What I want it to see”


“I’m gonna wait on
With all my boundless patience
I’m gonna wait on
With all my cut shots
I’m gonna wait on
With all my big hoiks

But I’m gonna keep
A wide eye
And I’m gonna keep
A wide stance
And I’m gonna keep
A wide approach
Till your mind
Narrows up
And can only see
What I want it to see.”

Chess on Grass.

You can let it go
You can let it go
You can let it go
You can let it go

You can let it go
But it won’t let you go
It’ll take your middle stump
That red cherry will
Take it, real bad

Come here mister
Let me engage you
Engage you in a game
Engage you in my game -
Chess on Grass
Chess on Grass
Oh yeah, chess on grass

Too bad if you won’t last
But it sure has,
And if the world don’t end
It sure will

I’m talking about
Chess on Grass
Chess on Grass

Cricket’s too common a name
With all kinda new evil attached
I’d rather sit back, sip on my ale
And listen to some good ol’ JJ Cale

Time before Clapton borrowed cocaine
Time before cricket burrowed cocaine
Time before one guy gave another a slap
Time before Modi wanted us all to clap

I’m talking about
Chess on grass

Hope it goes on and on
And on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on

Come here baby,
Come to me baby,
You’re my
Chess on Grass
Oh yes you are

Gimme five!
Five days baby!
