[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

[Chorus]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
Don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

[Verse 2]
Been away so long, I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it 'til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone

[Chorus]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
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.

[Bridge]
Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm back in thе U.S.S.R.
Don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

[Bridge]
Well, thе Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's on my mi-mi-mi-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 comrades warm

[Chorus]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
Don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

[Outro]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
Don't know how lucky you are, boy
