Back To Ussr

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC

On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the USSR

Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone

You don't knowhow lucky you are, boy
Back in the US

Hey, you don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back inthe USSR
Oh, let me tell you honey
