Letra de
Back In The USSR

A música Back in the U.S.S.R. foi escrita por Paul McCartney e é uma paródia alegre das canções dos Beach Boys sobre a América, com um toque de Chuck Berry. McCartney quis criar uma música que exaltasse a União Soviética de uma maneira divertida, misturando rock and roll com temáticas geopolíticas da Guerra Fria.


Flew in from Miami Beach B. O. A. C.
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You 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.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mi mi mi mi mi mi mind
Oh, 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 comrade warm

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.
