"Back In The USSR" lyrics

Back In The USSR

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On 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 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

Oh, come on
Ho yeah
Ho yeah
Ho ho yeah
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
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

Oh, show me around your snow-peaked mountains
Way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

I'm back in the USSR
Hey
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the USSR

Oh let me tell you, honey
Hey, I'm back
I'm back in the USSR
Yes, I'm free
Yeah, back in the USSR
