Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC 
Didn't get to bed last night 
Oh, 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 
That 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 
That 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
