Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Russians

It's pissing down with rain

The dogs they all do howl

Just beneath the surface, the faces all do scowl

Selling off an empire, they sell it by the pound

The Russians in the market square

Give him 15 Deutschmarks for an old red hat

He will sell you the coat off of his back

And he's looking handsome and he's looking sad

The Russian in the market square

The Russian in the market

The Russian in the market

The Russian in the market square

He'll tell you stories about his past

He'll tell you stories if you ask

And he's looking handsome and he's looking sad

The Russians in the market square

Yes, the Russian in the market

Yes, the Russian in the market

Yes, the Russian in the market square

Yes, the Russian in the market

Yes, the Russian in the market

The Russian in the market square

Yes, the Russian in Frankfurt Square
