Lyrics
Surfin U.S.S.R.
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.
We got a Soviet sub she's a '79.
She's got nuclear reactorand she runs real fine.
We're loyal to the party and the party line,
But a sailor's gotta have a little fun sometime.
We were out in the Pacific where it's nice and deep
When our Sonar operator fell asleep.
Then a terrible crash waking every hand.
And we woke up stuck in the California sand.
Chorus:
Now here we are
Surfin' U.S.S.R.
Malibu, U.S.A
With all the movie stars.
Yah, I'm gettin' kinda tan
Gettin' good on guitar.
Come on honey be my little com' ma sar
We don't want no nuclear fight
We just wanna have a beach party tonight
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo)
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Yo yo yo yo yo yo
Yo yo yo yo yo yo)
Thought the girls were bewitchin' back in Moscow U.
'Til we saw the little hunneys here in Malibu.
One look through the prescope and we all flipped.
It was a mutiny aboard the People's Ship.
Chorus
YO's once more
