The Starting Position Song
The Queen on a square that matches her dress
And the wise king to her side.
Beside them stand the speedy Bishops
And the Rooks in the corners of the board.
To the empty squares gallop the Knights
And the Pawns in a rank.
And now, everyone is ready to begin
To play, the game of Chess.
