Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didnt get to bed last night
On the way, the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight
Im back in the U.S.S.R.​
You dont know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R. 
Been away so long, I hardly knew the place
Gee, its good to be back home
Leave it til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone
Im back in the U.S.S.R
You dont 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
That Georgias always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
Oh, come on!
Yeah, Im back in the U.S.S.R.​
You dont know how lucky you are, boys
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 Georgias always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
Oh show me round your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddys farm
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
Im back in the U.S.S.R. 
You dont know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the U.S.S.R
Oh, let me tell you, honey
Hey, Im back, Im back in the U.S.S.R.​
Hey, its so good to be home
Yeah, back in the U.S.S.R.​
