The Lyrics
Set the Knight on Fire
Fischer's kicking in the groove
The Russian's playing uninspired
But Karpov has some lighter fluid,
A conflagration's his desire.
Try to set his knights on fire,
Try to set his knights on fire,
Burn 'em up and then retire!
From Alkehine's older school
To Kasparov's computer mind
They teach the masters' greatest move:
Scorch the horse to ashen piles.
Try to set the knight on fire,
Try to set the knight on fire,
Burn it up and then retire,
Burn it up and then retire,
Burn it like a junkyard tire!
Fischer's kicking in the groove
The Russian's playing uninspired
But Karpov has some lighter fluid,
A conflagration's his desire.
Try to set his knights on fire,
Try to set his knights on fire,
Burn 'em up and then retire!
From Alkehine's older school
To Kasparov's computer mind
They teach the masters' greatest move:
Scorch the horse to ashen piles.
Try to set the knight on fire,
Try to set the knight on fire,
Burn it up and then retire,
Burn it up and then retire,
Burn it like a junkyard tire!

Appreciate the love. The way I play chess, I sometimes wish fire were an option.

Found this by googling, “Try to set the knight on fire,” and hoping someone else thought the way I do. The internet so rarely disappoints that way and often turns out something beautiful. Like this time. Thank you.
