Leningrad in the spring of '81 Now that was a spring break Sans the Florida girls Three nights there Two more in Moscow The hotel room in Leningrad Two whole days of ******* The bosses wife And the knocking on the doors By the military dependents "Keep the noise down, Knock that off" they plead "Don't you know what time it is?" I have no other memory of Leningrad Because I never got to see any of it The best time I ever had in Moscow, the buildings, so grand I just wanted to take a picture and was surrounded by guards with guns Really big men with very big guns Upon a pat down the KGB found A pack of cigarettes on my person "American Marlboros" he exclaimed While passing them out to his buddies "Here, try one of ours" he states while offering a Russian version of the same product/not the same product I choked on it "see" said the cop "You Americans RICH" Comrades, have you seen him? The great imperialist The man who will destroy us
