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 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 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.

    Show me round 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
    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.
