Back in the U.S.S.R.

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 'til 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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mind 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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mind Show me 'round your snow peaked mountains way down south Take me to your daddy's farm Let me hear your balalaikas 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 |

The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
|
|
Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun In case of accidents he always took his mom He's the all American bullet headed Saxon mother's son All the children sing Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise So captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes All the children sing Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? The children asked him if to kill was not a sin "Not when he looked so fierce", his mommy butted in "If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him" All the children sing Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? Hey, Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill? |

While My Guitar Gently Sleeps
|
|
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps I with every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted, you were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted, no one alerted you I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps |

Happiness Is a Warm Gun
|
|
She's not a girl who misses much Do, do, do, do, do, do, oh yeah She's well acquainted with touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime A soap impression of his wife, which he ate and donated to the National Trust I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left up town I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Mother superior jump the gun Mother superior jump the gun Mother superior jump the gun Mother superior jump the gun Mother superior jump the gun Mother superior jump the gun Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun, mama When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know nobody can do me no harm Because, (happiness) is a warm gun, mama Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun Well don't you know that happiness is a warm gun |

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird, fly Blackbird, fly into the light of a dark, black night Blackbird, fly Blackbird, fly into the light of a dark, black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise |

Piggies
|
|
Have you seen the little piggies Crawling in the dirt And for all the little piggies Life is getting worse Always having dirt to play around in Have you seen the bigger piggies In their starched white shirts You will find the bigger piggies Stirring up the dirt Always have clean shirts to play around in In their styes with all their backing They don't care what goes on around In their eyes there's something lacking What they need's a damn good whacking Everywhere there's lots of piggies Living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner With their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon |

Rocky Raccoon
|
|
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon And one day his woman ran off with another guy Hit Young Rocky in the eye, Rocky didn't like that He said: "I'm gonna get that boy" So one day he walked into town Booked himself a room in the local saloon Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shot off the legs of his rival His rival it seems had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy Her name was Magill and she called herself Lill But everyone knew her as Nancy Now she and her man who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoe down Rocky bust in and grinning a grin He said Danny boy this is a showdown But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner Now the doctor came in stinking of gin And proceeded to lie on the table He said Rocky you met your match And Rocky said: "Doc it's only a scratch And I'll be better, I'll be better Doc, as soon as I am able" Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Gideon checked out and he left it, no doubt To help with good Rocky's revival That's the story of Rocky Raccoon |

Don't Pass Me By
|
|
I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive Listen for your footsteps, but they don't arrive Waiting for your knock, dear, on my old front door I don't hear it, does it mean you don't love me any more? I hear the clock a-ticking on the mantel shelf See the hands a-moving, but I'm by myself I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm by myself I don't see you, does it mean you don't love me any more? Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue 'Cause you know, darling, I love only you You'll never know it hurts me so, I hate to see you go Don't pass me by, don't make me cry I'm sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair You were in a car crash and you lost your hair You said that you would be late about an hour or two I said that's all right, I'm waiting here, just waiting to hear from you Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue 'Cause you know, darling, I love only you You'll never know it hurts me so, I'll hate to see you go Don't pass me by, don't make me cry |

Creme tangerine and montelimar A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart I feel your taste all the time we're apart Coconut fudge really blows down those blues But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle You might not feel it now But when the pain cuts through you're going to know and how The sweat is gonna fill your head When it becomes too much you'll shout aloud But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle You know that what you eat you are But what is sweet now turns so sour We all know ob-la-di-bla-da But can you show me where you are Creme tangerine and montelimar A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle Yes, you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle |
