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 a dreadful flight.

I'm back in the USSR,
You don't know how lucky you are now, baby,
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 now, baby,
Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR!

Well, these Ukraine girls really knock me out,
They leave the west behind.
And Moscow boys make me scream and shout,
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my mind!

I'm back in the USSR,
You don't know how lucky you are now, baby,
Back in the USSR.

I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are now, baby,
Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR!

Well, these Ukraine girls really knock me out,
They leave the west behind.
And Moscow boys make me scream and shout,
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my mind!

Oh, show me round your snow-peaked mountains way down south,
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out,
Come and keep your comrade warm.

I'm back in the USSR,,
You don't know how lucky you are now, baby,
Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR...
