So good to meet you, Mr. Chess
                              ()
I've always heard that you're the best
                                          ()
At housing knights and castles high up in the air

                    
so I beseech you, Mr. Chess
                       
To let me sleep inside your bed
                                                    
And would you sleep too, would you sleep too 
        ()
in the chair?

                       
You see, I dream of many things
                 
Of floating, solitary kings
                                               ()
Of pawns and people with blue sequins through their hair

                       
The jesters sings, the bishop brings
                       
The queen a hollow following
                                          ()
And all the pawns and people stop and people stare

                       
So, I too stop, At three o'clock
                       ()
I stumble to your door And knock
                                           ()
And ask to see you, ask to be you, Mr. Chess O, Mr. Chess

                      
Now, I beseech you, Mr. Chess
                       ()
To let me sleep, to let me rest
                                    ()
To let me dream, to let me sing without a care

                          
And I will dream you things so fair
                          ()
I'll sing you castles in the air
                         
And I will sleep too, I will sleep too
                              
I will rest, O Mr. Chess, my Mr. Chess
