Lyrics
Far across the ocean blue
There’s a dang’rous boogy boo
He’ll be after me and you
Bye and bye
He’s as bad as he can be
When I spell his name you’ll see
B-O-L-S-H-E-V-I-K-I
Refrain:
Look out for the Bolsheviki man
You can tell him any place
By the whiskers on his face
He’s a slippery fellow from Russia
Seeking fortune and fame
Be careful of his game
It’s full of “bull” just like his name
So, look out for the Bolsheviki man
To the speeches that he makes tie a little can
He hasn’t got a single sou
And he wants to share it all with you
Look out! Look out!
For the Bolsheviki Man
