Lyrics
Chorus
Far far away
In that Bolsheviki land-o-vitch
They never shave
So, they never get the barber’s itch
When they do their dance (Hup)
They wear bloomer pants (Hup)
When the take a drink (Hup)
They don’t stop to think (Hup)
Far far away
In that Bolsheviki Land-o-vitch
Chorus
Far far away
In that Bolsheviki land-o-vitch
They all wear beards
So they can not tell just which is which
When they play their game (Hup)
Skee ball is it’s name (Hup)
They don’t use their head (Hup)
‘Cause their brains are dead (Hup)
Far far away
In that Bolsheviki Land-o-vitch
Patter-erski
Hey pass-ky me-sky the whiskey
I’m-sky Motka from-sky Slabotky
I must have-sky some-sky Shabotka
With-sky my-sky glass-sky of Vodka
All-ay-yup (clap clap clap)
Fill em’ up (clap clap clap)
One more cup (clap clap clap)
Bol-she-vi-ki, Hey!
