 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!]
