Back in the USSR

The Beatles 1968

Text

1.
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

Ref.
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the USSR

2.
Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it 'til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone

Ref.
I'm back in the USSR, ...

3.
Well the R. 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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind.

Solo

Well the R. Ukraine girls really knock me out, ...

5.
Show me 'round your snow peaked mountains 'way down south
Take me to your Daddy's farm
Let me hear your balaliakas ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

I'm back in the USSR, ...
