RUSSKAYA TVISTA (in English) Hush, my dollink, don't you cry! ...Drink your vokda and give it a try! Take my hand and I'll grab your wrist And we'll dance the Russian Twist! Don't show too much action with the ankle Or we'll be tossed in the Lubyanka For breaking an order to cease and desist From dancink the Russian Twist! To dance from Leningrad to Kazan Is part of the Bolshoi's Five Year Plan! Then they'll salute us with the Communist fist For doing the Russian Twist. Da!
