It's cute, this little dance that we do
Up and down the narrow strip of ballroom floor
You've  got them cornered
You're one step ahead
Poor kid won't even see it coming
You toss around their pawns like it's nothing
With each little tick
Of your valiant swords
Ha! You've figured them out
I'm sure you're chivalrous so you'll make it as painless as possible
4-4
0:05
Back forth back forth
Lunge!
And you scream before the buzzer goes off
Because you already know it's yours
