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 USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the USSR, yeah

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
They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind
Oh, come on
Hu Hey Hu, hey, ah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
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
They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind

Oh, show me round your snow peaked
mountain way down south
Take me to you daddy's farm
Let me hear you balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I'm back in the USSR
Hey, You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the USSR
Oh, let me tell you honey

Chuck Berry can't hold a candle to the Beatles... plus, this version is far more rock and roll. Can someone please come up with Brit lyrics for this?

Okay, appallingly bad taste, but here we go:

============================================

Imagine no John Lennon
It's easy if you try
No geeky "Instant Karma"
No whining "Jealous Guy"
Imagine that rich wanker
Bleeding on the ground

Oh oh o o oh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope you'll join us at the Dakota
And don't forget to bring your gun.

... of a joke which I read once. A migrant worker from Bratislava or somewhere like that was working in one of those awful Beatles-themed places down in Liverpool. He had to listen to Beatles music all day every day, week in, week out, until he developed a determination to find the Beatles and shoot them... until he realised that someone already had.

One is only 'up' when one is in Town. Everywhere else is 'down', regardless of geography. It's a Londoner thing!
