Start Right Chess Rap
Copyright Start Right 2016

You think you can’t play chess?!
You think you can’t get in it?!
We’ll show you how the pieces move
In just one minute!
 
Now I'm a ROOK.
I move on RANKS and FILES.
Now I'm a BISHOP.
I rock the DIAGONILES.
 
Now I'm a QUEEN.
Best piece on the scene…
I rock ALL three styles:
RANKS, FILES, AND DIAGONILES.
 
Now I'm a KING.
(Did you kiss my ring?)
I also move on all three lines.
But I only go... one square at a time.
 
Now I'm a KNIGHT.
My jump's out of sight.
I hop two squares forward
Then one left or right.
 
Now I'm a PAWN.
I move straight forward a square at a time.
But I capture my enemy
On a diagonal line.
 
Rook, Bishop, Queen
King, Knight, Pawn
Now you know
What’s going on!
