Rockin' in the USSR Lyrics

we got into the city early in the afternoon
got into moscow city round about afternoon
we'd travelled all the way from bombay but boy, we felt so good
we had a bowl of borscht and we had a few loaves of blackbread
but the gujju pulled out his pickle in spite of the spread
half a bottle of vodka, its gone right to his head

communication at first seemed to pose something of a block
but as we turned up the heat we were in for a bit of a shock
'cos the ruskis they spoke the universal language of rock
we travelled to the land of the hammer, the sickle and star
all the way to this land so pretty, so cold and so far
and we had such a ball just rockin' in the ussr

i met this pretty girl, i was walking down arbat street
"zdrastuite" she said, and i could really feel the heat
and so we spent the evening boogie woogieing under the sheets
we travelled to the land of the hammer, the sickle and star
all the way to this land so pretty, so cold and so far
and we had such a ball just rockin' in the ussr
we had such a ball just rockin' in the ussr
rockin', rockin', rockin' in the ussr
