[THE AMERICAN] Communist, democrat An intriguing collusion Fair exchange, tit for tat Comradeship in profusion And the appeal, partner Of this deal, partner Is we all stand to win You and me, the lady also Don't break her heart, partner Just be smart, partner Let her think that her past Is as pure as snow in Moscow Thank God we're so civilized And our words can be our bond We can turn this into friendship for life And beyond— [THE RUSSIAN] Refugee, total shit Is how I've always seen us Not a help, you'll admit To agreement between us There's no deal, partner Who's your real partner?
