[Intro]
Oh

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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.​

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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.​
[Bridge]
(Well) The Ukraine girls really knock me out (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
That Georgia's always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
Oh, come on!

[Guitar Solo]
Hoo, hey
Hoo, hey, hoo-hoo, yeah
Yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm back in the U.S.S.R.​
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.​

[Bridge]
(Well) The Ukraine girls really knock me out (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
That Georgia's always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I'm back in the U.S.S.R. (Hey)
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.​

[Outro]
Oh-oh, let me tell you, honey
Hey, I'm back, I'm back in the U.S.S.R.​ (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hey, it's so good to be home (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, back in the U.S.S.R.​
