[Intro – Russian Folk Metal] [Balalaika + Bayan + Heavy Twin-Guitar Riff] [Marching Drums] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] VODKA! VODKA! HEY! HEY! HEY! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] WHISKEY! [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] Born in the frost where the cold winds blow, Clear as the ice and white as the snow. No smoky barrel, no twelve-year plan, Open the bottle — that's how we began! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] Born in a barrel, in oak I stay, Getting more expensive every day. Vanilla and smoke, sophisticated class, I need twelve years — you need one glass! [CHORUS] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] VODKA! VODKA! COLD AS SNOW! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] WHISKEY! WHISKEY! NICE AND SLOW! [ALL] FIRE AND FROST, LET THE GOOD TIMES FLOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! FAST OR SLOW, WE STEAL THE SHOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! [Short Twin-Guitar Harmony Solo] [Balalaika Answers] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] No tasting notes, no sniffing bouquet, Pour it cold and send it away. Some people study the flavors they got, We have one question: cold or not? [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] I swirl my whiskey, I smell it with pride, Oak and vanilla are waiting inside. You laugh at me smelling the drink in my hand, At least mine has flavors I understand! [CHORUS] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] VODKA! VODKA! COLD AS SNOW! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] WHISKEY! WHISKEY! NICE AND SLOW! [ALL] FIRE AND FROST, LET THE GOOD TIMES FLOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! FAST OR SLOW, WE STEAL THE SHOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! [Epic Twin-Guitar Solo] [Russian Folk Melody] [Double-Bass Drums] [Bayan + Balalaika Join] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] Old tavern wisdom, famous and bold: “There are no ugly women in this world!” If beauty seems missing when closing the bar, There simply wasn't enough vodka so far! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] Whiskey makes quiet men suddenly wise, Experts on football, romance and lies. At midnight they lecture the whole bloody room, At sunrise they can't find the door to the loo! [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] Vodka gives courage when winter is mean, After three glasses you're dancing unseen. After four glasses you sing like a star, After number five — you have married the bar! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] Whiskey starts classy, respectable, neat, Then somehow you're conducting the band with your feet. You ordered one glass and politely sat down, Three hours later you're buying the round! [CHORUS] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] VODKA! VODKA! COLD AS SNOW! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] WHISKEY! WHISKEY! NICE AND SLOW! [ALL] FIRE AND FROST, LET THE GOOD TIMES FLOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! FAST OR SLOW, WE STEAL THE SHOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! [Guitar vs Balalaika Duel] [Fast Twin-Guitar Harmony] [Neoclassical Guitar Run] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] Whiskey needs barrels and patience and years, Vodka needs friends and a loud round of cheers. Whiskey grows older and doubles the price, Vodka stays simple — just bury it in ice! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] Whiskey has bourbon and rye on the shelf, Each little bottle thinks highly of itself. Some cost a fortune, some cost almost none, But after glass three — they're all number one! [Instrumental Break] [Balalaika Solo] [Bayan Solo] [Twin Guitars Answer] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] One makes you dance like the floor is on fire, One makes your singing increasingly higher. Different traditions, but here's what we know: Tomorrow the headache won't care which you chose! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] One comes in amber, one crystal and clear, Both somehow disappear when friends all are near. We argued all night about which one is best, Then ordered another — purely to test! [FINAL CHORUS – BIG] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] VODKA! VODKA! COLD AS SNOW! [FEMALE WHISKEY LEAD] WHISKEY! WHISKEY! NICE AND SLOW! [ALL] FIRE AND FROST, LET THE GOOD TIMES FLOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! FAST OR SLOW, WE STEAL THE SHOW! VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! Different glass, different name, Alcohol is alcohol just the same! No more fighting, let it go— VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO! [Final Twin-Guitar Solo] [Balalaika + Bayan + Double-Bass Finale] [RUSSIAN MALE CHOIR] HEY! HEY! HEY! [ALL] VODKA! WHISKEY! HEY-HO-HO!
