Lyrics

Land Of Yesterday

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

[Lily]

Once, I had a palace

Here, merely a flat

I fled with some diamonds

And that was that

[Aristocrats]

It's very tragic

[Lily]

Once, ladies-in waiting

All bending a knee

Now, only one lady-in-waiting me

[Men]

No fanfares

[Women]

Or sedan chairs

[Men]

And no coaches

[Women]

And we sold our broaches

[Leopold]

No afternoon card games with the tsar

[Lily]

No caviar

But I say we're not dead now

[All]

We're not dead now

We're in France instead, now

[Lily]

Let us not be sad

The night's young

And russians are mad

So

Let's live in the land of yesterday

Live in the grand imperial heyday

Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia

[All]

Husha!

[Lily]

Let's put on the fancy clothes

And let's while our woes away

[All]

In Russia

Land of yesterday

[Lily]

In dire circumstances

Why wallow in regret?

We're out of second chances

Why are we here, except to forget?

We know the world is fickle

Life is a leaky sieve

Pass me a glass

And give me a bow

And drink to the countess nobody now

Why should I care

As long as I dare to live

[Aristocrats]

In the land of yesterday

[Lily]

Let's run up the bill

As if we're still

Royalty at play

[All]

In Russia, land of yesterday

[Lily]

The night's young

And russians are mad, so

[All]

Let's live in the land of yesterday

Live in the grand imperial heyday

Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia

Husha!

[Lily]

Let's brush off the days of old

And let's hold the world at bay

[All]

Yes, here's to

[Lily]

Russia!

[All]

Here's to

[Women]

Russia!

[All]

Here's to Russia!

Land of yesterday

Land of yesterday

Hey!
