Cruising 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
