Hey Andrushka

Music: Russian Folksong
English lyrics: M Mallows

Troubles every morning
It's getting very boring
I'm floored and I'm flustered
But I know one thing
Angry as my wife is
A pleasure still my life is
If I get the chance to take a little drink

Hey Andrushka
Please let me have a vodka
Cause all I want is just a tiny sip
If you say "it's okay" then it's my last one
I'll never ever let the bottle touch my lip
Hey Andrushka
How can you be so cruel?
How can you coldly watch me die of thirst?
I'd give the world for just a final vodka
Then bring the pledge and I promise to sign first

Yes, I admit it
Vodka can be heady
But vodka makes a hard life seem a better thing
Ach, she knows I love her
And nothing is above her
Well, nothing but a tiny tiny drink

Hey Andrushka
Let me have a vodka
Cause all I want is just a tiny sip
If you say "it's okay" then it's the last one
I'll never ever let the bottle touch my lip
Oh Hey Andrushka
How can you be so cruel?
How can you coldly watch me die of thirst?
I'd give the world for just a pint of vodka
Then bring the pledge and I promise to sign first

Why go on living?
Living should be laughing
And vodka is friends the way it used to be
But it is forbidden
My wife is like a warden
And she insists that vodka must be bad for me

Hey Andrushka
Just let me have a vodka
Cause all I want is just a tiny sip
If you say "it's okay" then it's the last one
I'll never ever let the bottle touch my lip
Hey Andrushka
How can you be so cruel?
How can you coldly watch me die of thirst?
I'd give the world for just a pint of vodka
Then bring the pledge and I promise to sign first

Hey, Andrushka
