Back in the U.S.S.R. (Live / 2002) Lyrics by Paul McCartney

Back in the World

2003

[Verse 1]
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
[Hook]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R (yeah)
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S
Back in the U.S
Back in the U.S.S.R
[Chorus]
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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
Oh, come on!
[Guitar Solo: Paul McCartney]
[Hook]
Yeah, I'm back in the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the U.S.S.R
[Chorus]
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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
[Verse 3]
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
[Hook]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R. (hey)
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the U.S.S.R
[Outro]
Oh, let me tell you, honey
Hey, I'm back, I'm back in the U.S.S.R
Hey, it's so good to be here
Yeah, back in the U.S.S.R
