[Intro: Billy Joel]
One, two, three, four
Oh

[Verse 1: Billy Joel]
Flew in from Miami Beach, B.O.A.C
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight

[Chorus: Billy Joel]
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

[Verse 2: Billy Joel]
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
Ah, honey disconnect the phone

[Chorus: Billy Joel]
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
[Bridge: Billy Joel]
Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
And Georgia's always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
Woah, take it away Russel!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Billy Joel]
Oh, 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

[Bridge: Billy Joel]
Oh, the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
Well, Moscow girls make me sing and shout
And Georgia's always on my mind
Oh, let me tell ya

[Verse 3: Billy Joel]
Show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
[Chorus: Billy Joel]
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

[Outro: Billy Joel & Mark Rivera]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh let me tell you, honey (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, it's good to be here (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, yeah!
Спасибо!
Спасибо!
Goodbye

[Spoken: Billy Joel & Oleg Smirnoff]
I have a feeling that what's going on in your country right now
Is very much like the sixties
У меня вот такое чувство, что… то, что сейчас происходит здесь, в вашей стране, — это примерно тоже самое, что происходило в штатах в шестидесятых годах
This song has been going around and around in my head since I've been here
С тех пор, как я в Советском Союзе, эта песня всё время у меня звучит в голове
