lyrics

I was the champion
of the chessboxing tournament
back in 1994

I gave it my best shot
I gave it a good lot
I'm a nerd and I'm a jock

I was the champion
of the chessboxing tournament
go look it up on the internet

it's real
it's a thing
you know that it's a thing

it's real

chessboxing champion

play me in chess to see who's better at fighting
fight me to see who's better at chess
i'll put on my best pair of fighting mitts
and then put your king into check
