Tuh tuh tuh TUH, etc.
I'd like to comment on something you said,
But I can't talk over the TV's din.
It is pretending to be your head,
And its speaker is your mouth's very twin!
My land has risen up from its knees,
And has become so negatively tall.
Accept my answer to your non-question, please:
I agree negatively with it all!
All this time, where have you been?
Eight long years, you pansies!
Put the swans back on the screen,
Let me see some dancing!
Hope the old man's looking green,
And is getting antsy!
Soloviev, quit your routine,
Let me watch some dancing!
Tuh tuh tuh TUH, etc.
When this all ends, you'll act deaf and dumb,
Just as if you weren't even there.
Your face is sour like a cherry plum,
You're in a state of some slight despair.
I'd like to answer what you had said,
But I can't talk over the TV's din.
It is pretending to be your head,
And its speaker is your mouth's very twin!
All this time, where have you been?
Eight long years, you pansies!
Put the swans back on the screen,
Let me see some dancing!
Hope the old man's looking green,
And is getting antsy!
Soloviev, become unseen,
Let me watch some dancing!
Tuh tuh tuh TUH, etc.
