[Kuplet 1]
Ob etom yuzhnom gorode molva idet ne darom
Byvayut zhe volshebnyye takiye goroda
Proydus' po Deribasovskoy po solnechnym bul'varam
I uyezzhat' ne khochetsya otsyuda nikuda

[Pripev]
Ot berega otchalila poslednyaya kometa
Nad morem razlivayetsya pokoy i blagodat'
Potemkinskaya lestnitsa vos'moye chudo sveta
A mozhet i devyatoye ne stanu utverzhdat'
Potemkinskaya lestnitsa vos'moye chudo sveta
A mozhet i devyatoye ne stanu utverzhdat'

[Kuplet 2]
Osilit' etu lestnitsu nelegkaya rabota
Stupen'ku za stupen'koyu schitayu kak vsegda
No mysli otvlekayutsya sbivayutsya so scheta
I kazhutsya stupen'kami letyashchiye goda

[Pripev]
Ot berega otchalila poslednyaya kometa
Nad morem razlivayetsya pokoy i blagodat'
Potemkinskaya lestnitsa vos'moye chudo sveta
A mozhet i devyatoye ne stanu utverzhdat'
Potemkinskaya lestnitsa vos'moye chudo sveta
A mozhet i devyatoye ne stanu utverzhdat'
