Press Conference Lyrics
[00:06.57] Does your opponent
[00:07.33] Deserve such abuse?
[00:09.40] All Soviets deserve abuse.
[00:12.83] But even you must
[00:13.60] Concede he can play.
[00:15.52] Sure, he's the best red on the circuit. I'll
[00:16.84] Give him that.
[00:18.95] He hasn't lost
[00:19.94] For a long time--
[00:21.01] He could be a
[00:22.36] Tough nut to crack.
[00:23.49] Listen, if he gets one game off me, it's
[00:25.26] Because I want to keep press interest going.
[00:26.40] Why do you persist
[00:27.47] With vicious attacks,
[00:28.45] Ungracious remarks re:
[00:29.49] Opponents?
[00:30.54] It smacks of a
[00:31.02] Lack of conviction
[00:31.82] Admit you're under duress
[00:33.18] And that your only skill left
[00:34.48] Is for money, not chess.
[00:35.65] If Soviet life's as grim
[00:36.97] As you claim,
[00:37.95] Then how come their boys
[00:38.75] Are so good at the game?
[00:39.70] Though you swear
[00:40.47] The American dream
[00:41.71] Is clearly the best,
[00:42.87] You're no advertisement
[00:43.54] For life and times
[00:44.48] In the West.
[00:48.41] Why did you risk the whole match
[00:50.24] Breaking down?
[00:52.02] I don't know what you're saying. What are
[00:53.41] You implying?
[00:55.27] All your outrageous demands,
[00:57.06] Your conceit.
[00:57.85] I don't see anything outrageous about demanding
[00:59.91] What I'm worth.
[01:01.38] They pay all that you ask for,
[01:03.23] And then you demand even more.
[01:05.29] I am the reason you're all here. Who had heard of Sergievsky?
[01:07.93] It's hard to believe
[01:11.03] What we're reporting.
[01:13.78] Why so disparaging?
[01:16.99] Not very sporting.
[01:18.91] Are the Communist sporting? My God!
[01:20.81] Tell all this to the
[01:23.53] United Nations,
[01:26.43] Are you an asset to
[01:29.50] East-West relations?
[01:33.60] What is this? What have the Russians ever done
[01:36.27] For East-West relations? Have you people any serious
[01:39.37] Questions?
[01:41.25] Will you be quitting for good
[01:43.01] If you lose?
[01:47.38] How come your second's a girl,
[01:49.31] Lover boy?
[01:51.22] What did you say?
[01:53.84] How come your second's a girl,
[01:55.74] Lover boy?
[02:01.31] Well, what did I say?
[02:02.66] He's finally flipped,
[02:03.69] And between you and me--
[02:05.53] He's no hope of retaining
[02:07.06] His crown in his frame of mind.
[02:08.66] In fact,
[02:09.19] He shouldn't have come here,
[02:10.22] He should have resigned.
[02:11.67] Smile, you got your first
[02:14.18] Well, what did I say?
[02:15.06] Exclusive Story
[02:16.66] He's finally flipped,
[02:17.31] And between you and me
[02:18.98] Now you can bask in his
[02:19.44] He's no hope of retaining
[02:20.30] His crown in his frame of mind.
[02:21.07] In fact,
[02:21.65] Reflected glory.
[02:22.62] He shouldn't have come here,
[02:23.71] He should have resigned.
[02:24.46] When he is in this frame of mind
[02:25.02] Yankee aggression!"
[02:26.68] He shouldn't come,
[02:28.12] He should resign.
[02:29.07] When he is in this frame of mind
[02:31.09] Oh, what a credit to
[02:32.49] He shouldn't come,
[02:33.47] He should resign.
[02:34.00] Your great profession!
[02:37.14] Much better to quit when still number one
[02:38.21] Than crash to defeat reputation undone
[02:39.02] Though he's proved to himself it's a communist plot
[02:40.08] If you ask me it's money that did it and started the rot
[02:40.31] It's sad that the best his country's produced
[02:41.96] Is crumbling in front of our eyes and reduced
[02:42.76] To a mindless abuse and assault
[02:43.56] On all of mankind
[02:44.05] I think he shouldn't have come back
[02:44.89] He should have resigned
[02:45.83]
[00:07.33] Deserve such abuse?
[00:09.40] All Soviets deserve abuse.
[00:12.83] But even you must
[00:13.60] Concede he can play.
