Back in the U.S.S.R. (Live / 2002)

[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
