Paul McCartney, “Back in the U.S.S.R. (live in Red Square, 2003)‎”

 

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 U.S.S.R. / You don’t know how lucky you are boys / 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 boys / 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 Georgia’s always on my mind

‎I’m back in the U.S.S.R. / You don’t know how lucky you are boys / 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 Georgia’s always on my mind

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 U.S.S.R. / You don’t know how lucky you are boys / Back in the U.S. Back in the U.S. Back in the U.S.S.R.

Oh… I’m back / I’m back in the U.S.S.R. / Come and keep your comrade warm / Oh… I’m back, all right
