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, yeah

.

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

They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind

Oh, come on

Hu Hey Hu, hey, ah, 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

They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind

.

Oh, show me round your snow peaked

mountain way down south

Take me to you daddy's farm

Let me hear you 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, boy

Back in the USSR

Oh, let me tell you honey
