aus dem Album: THE BEATLES 1967-1970 (II)


FLEW IN FROM MIAMI BEACH BOAC
DIDN´T GET TO BED LAST NIGHT
ALL THE WAY THE PAPER BAG WAS ON MY KNEE
MAN I HAD I DREADFUL FLIGHT

(I´M) BACK IN THE USSR
(YOU) DON´T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE BOY
BACK IN THE USSR

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 USSR
(YOU) DON´T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE BOY
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 MIND
OH, COME ON!



(I´M) BACK IN THE USSR
(YOU) DON´T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE BOY
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 MIND


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 USSR
(YOU) DON´T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE BOY
BACK IN THE USSR
