The Merchandisers lyrics

[SOLOISTS]

Whether you are pro or anti

Or could not care less

We are here to tell you

We are here to sell you chess

Not a chance of you escaping

From our wiles

We've locked the doors

We've blocked the aisles

We've a franchise worth exploiting

And we will (yes we will!)

When it comes to merchandising

We could kill

[FEMALE SOLOISTS]

When you get up

[MALE SOLOISTS]

When you get up in the morning

[SOLOISTS]

Till your bedtime book

You will have to live your life

With bishop, knight, and rook

[MALE SOLOISTS]

Clean your teeth with checkered toothpaste

Wear our vests

[FEMALE SOLOISTS]

Our kings and queens

On bouncing breasts

[SOLOISTS]

You could even buy a set

And learn to play

We don't mind

We'll sell you something anyway

We've done all our market research

And our findings show

That this game of chess

Will be around a month or so

Maybe it's a bit confusing

For a game

But Rubik's cubes

Were much the same

In the end the whole world bought one

All were gone

By which time we merchandisers

Had moved on!

By which time

We had moved on!
