///Original lyrics by Ambidexta, 2025//// (Dedicated to most famous stereotypes about Russians :-)) [verse1] I will wake up in the morning, thousand miles from motherland, But my Russian soul is calling So I live without pretend Vodka waits upon the table, Borscht is bubbling in the pot, With a bear that’s quite unstable, And a samovar, why not? [chorus] Щи да каша - пища наша, От КамчАтки до ПермИ, You can take me out of Russia Can’t take Russia out of me!.. Ooooh ohh yeah Can’t take Russia out of me!… [instrumental bridge] [verse 2] Pickles go well with vodka, With the first or second course Pickled herring called селЕдка, And some caviar of course! Now it’s time to walk my bear, In my furry trapper hat, Neighbours have a mighty scare, When they see my peaceful pet [Chorus] [balalaikas orchestra and folk orchestra solo] [prechorus] [crescendo, snares, spoken word] Wind is playing in the birches Roosters calling from their perches, Bear snores in forest cave, Russian spirit starts to rave! [instrumental folk accordion upbeat bridge ] [chorus] [outro, end]
