Terrace Duet

This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid
Nothing I say will convince him this isn't a trick.

A drink on a clear moonlit night
I relax, she smiles
There's something peculiar going on.

So, through no fault of my own, I'm in it way over my head
Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned.

Now she can't be working for them
I mean us
She seems so very straightforward
But where is he?

He has to turn up it can't come to nothing
Perhaps it can!
Maybe he's scared
But he didn't seem scared in the game.

Oh I just couldn't care less
He can go right ahead
Go and wreck his career
I know I've done my best
Well at least she's a good-looking spy.

What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans
Have nothing to do with the chess?
If I don't say something and soon
He'll go - Maybe I'm on nobody's side!

Listen, I hate to break up the mood
Get to the point, begin the beguine
Haven't you noticed we're still one character short
In this idyllic, well-produced scene?

How could I not, Miss Vassy regrets
Anything goes, with your opponent

Never mind him
I haven't missed him so far
Maybe it won't do any harm
To struggle on without his charm
Funny how all at once I feel
Nothing about this meeting matters anymore
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid
My dear opponent
I really can't imagine why.

You'll think I'm the dangerous kind
Well I am!
You, you're not dangerous
Who could think that of you?]
You you are so strange
Why can't you be what you ought to be?

You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half
I have to hand it to you
For you've managed to make me
Forget why I ever agreed to this farce.

I don't know why I can't think of anything
I would rather do
Than be wasting my time with someone like you.

Who'd ever think it?
Such a very pretty setting!
Tell me what's the betting
Very pretty plotting too?
No matter - I've done all your work for you.

Who'd ever guess it?
Daughter in collaboration
With the very nation
Gave her father third degree!
Where's Daddy? Dead or in the KGB?
