Chess - One More Opponent Lyrics

1988 Broadway
Chess the Musical - One More Opponent Lyrics

ANATOLY:
But why is he really here?
A whole year of silence
And suddenly here he is

FLORENCE: (spoken)
He's working for Global. It's big money

ANATOLY:
So that's all it is, then?
He has no desire to see you anymore?

FLORENCE:
Who cares what he's up to?
You're not playing him

ANATOLY:
Oh, no?
I've the feeling I am

(spoken)
Why is he here?

FLORENCE:
Don't talk yourself out of form
Viigand's the one
You have to beat

ANATOLY:
And he's a fine player

FLORENCE:
Predictable -- he's a machine

ANATOLY: (spoken)
Yes, a very fine machine

FLORENCE:
So are you
So are we
But there is one other thing

ANATOLY: (spoken)
What?

FLORENCE:
I gather Svetlana
Is planning to come out here

ANATOLY: (spoken)
My wife? Come to Bangkok? No

FLORENCE: (spoken)
You must know about it

(sung)
It's been in the papers
They may let her out

ANATOLY:
This has to be Molokov
Right up his street

FLORENCE:
So now you've got
One more opponent to beat
Surely you knew

ANATOLY:
I did not

FLORENCE:
Well, this is a problem
We knew we'd be facing soon

ANATOLY: (spoken)
But not now. Not now
