Verse
He made his way to the border
In the shadow under the trees
Down by a stream in a hollow
Turn your head feel the breeze
Chorus
And the red Queen
was waiting for the news
For the white King to move
And the balance hung
upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
and keep his undercover
secret tight
Verse
They let him in by a backway
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen
She took the note that he gave her
Opened it slowly and started to read
Chorus
Run to the treasury
and bring me back some gold
Give it to the pawn who came
she cried
He says the white King thinks
the game of chess is wrong
And all the courtiers crowded her
And this is what she told
the gathered round
Verse
Go to the store by the dungeon
Take all the red paint
take all the white
Make up a newborn colour
Cover your neighbor
we'll be all right
Chorus
There will be no game today
she cried across the board
Everyday will be a holiday
And all the pieces cheered
as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat
and smiled at the cat
who smiled back
