BACK IN THE USSR (By Lennon/McCartney, 1968. Sung by Paul).

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC

didn't get to bed last night

all the way the paper bag was on my knee

man I had a dreadful flight

I'm back in the USSR

You don't know how lucky you are boy

Back in the USSR.

 

Been away so long I hardly knew the place

gee it's good to be back home

leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case

honey disconnect the phone

I'm back in the USSR

You don't know how lucky you are boy

back in the US, back in the US

back in the USSR

 

Well the Ukraine girl really knock me out

they leave the West behind

and Moscow girls make me sing and shout

That Georgia's always on my mind

(Oh come on!)

 

I'm back in the USSR

you don't know how lucky you are boy

back in the USSR

 

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out

they leave the west behind

and Moscow girls make me sing and shout

that Georgia's always on my mind.

 

Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down South

take me to yor daddy's famr

let me hear your balalaika's ringing out

come and keep your comrade warm

I'm back in the USSR

You don't know how lucky you are boy

back in the USSR.
