lyrics

Today's the day I'll be high up in the sky
Got a ticket from the President, I'm such a lucky guy
Seeing Russia from the sky, oh me oh my
Strap me to my seat, then mentioned something 'bout a fuse?

Lots of places, lots of people I'm gonna see
And I'll bet they wave their hands as I go flying overhead so high
It's so nice when you are cruising
Hello friends, hello Russia
Got a little button here, don't know what it does
Bound to be something

Good enough for Leningrad
That's old St. Peters
Can't be bad
What a smashing time
Minsk and Omsk and Vladivostok
Sevastopol and good old Rostov
Won't it just be fine
Cruising the Eastern sky
Lots of folks and lots of country I'm gonna see
And I'll bet as I go cruising past
They'll wave fast and sweet at me
It's so nice when you are cruising
Hi there friends, hi there Moscow
Got a gift from Uncle Sam
Don't know what it is
No-one's allowed to travel with me
It's a secret
Cover up
I've got to see you
But to light your path
Tallin, Riga and Odessa
Krasnoyarsk I must confess
You fill me with desire
Cruising the Eastern sky
Lots of fun and lots of parties I'm gonna to see
And I'll bet in every town there'll be a welcome
Waiting just for me
It's so nice when you are cruising
Hello friends, hello comrades
Got a little present here
Don't know what it's for
They told me to share it around

Today's the day I'll be high up in the sky
Got a ticket from the President, I'm such a lucky guy
Gonna see the world on a cruise, oh me oh my
Thanks to Sgt. Bilko, Uncle Sam and all those nice men down there
Wondering why they're running quite so fast
Towards a concrete shelter, mmmm, nevermind
Think of balalaikas and that good old Mr. Gorbachev
