Flew in from Miami Beach B. O. A. C.
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paperback was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.
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 U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Geogia's always on my mi mi mi mi mi mi mind Oh come on!]

And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Geogia's always on my mi mi mi mi mi mi mind
Oh, show me 'round your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaikais ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C., didn't get to bed last night
On the way a 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
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-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
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
Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south,
take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear you balalaikas ringing out,
come and keep your comrade warm
Peace, love, and soul,
