Comrade Bulganin and Comrade K

Comrade Bulganin and Comrade K

B. O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev
Don't you think this bunch is very bourgeoisie?
Don't you find them very flat, very proletariat,
Don't you feel that they're not quite our cup of tea

K. Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulganin,
Please remember that they've asked us out to stay
Though we may not like their views
We can still knock back their booze
Aren't I right Comrade Bulganin?
B. Aren't you always Comrade K.?

Kruschev
Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulganin,
Please remember that we must be polite.
Tho' we may not like these rats
We must smile and doff our hats
And pretend the East and West can now unite.

Bulganin
O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev,
With all you say you know I will agree.
You're much smarter than the best of the leaders in the West
Aren't I right dear Comrade Kruschev?

Kruschev
Aren't you always Comrade B.!

Bulganin
O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev,
Aren't you ever worried in these trips out West
—The booing mixed with cheers is most baffling to my ears
And I'm always glad I brought my bomb-proof vest.

Kruschev
Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulganin.
Don't be worried by the way this rabble bray
—They can never do us in
For we're charmed like Rasputin
Aren't I right Comrade Bulganin?

Bulganin
Aren't you always Comrade K.?

Kruschev
Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulgain,
If you're drinking vodka please don't be too swift.
For you're not a pretty sight when you're absolutely tight
And you're quite a weight for the poor guards to lift.

Bulganin
O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev,
Surely we can have a little jollity
And women song and wine
Is the perfect party line
—Aren't I right dear Comrade Kruschev?

Kruschev
... I'll let you know Comrade B.
