Balaga lyrics
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey ho Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver
Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey hey Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver
[BALAGA]
Who’s that madman flying at full gallop down the street
Who’s that madman knocking people over
Running people down
While his fine gentlemen
Hold on to their seats
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
It’s Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Driving mad at twelve miles an hour
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Comin’ straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Lashin’ my whip at horses and peasants
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Risking skin and life twenty times a year
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
From Tula to Moscow and back in just one night
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
A narrow escape from a wild Cossack fight
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
They’ve beaten me and slapped me with their gloves
[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
Made me drunk on champagne, which I love!
[ALL]
Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey ho Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver
Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey hey Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver
[ANATOLE]
Who’s that slowpoke we abuse with wild and tipsy shouts
[BALAGA]
Who knows things that would get you sent straight to Siberia
If anyone found out
[ALL]
It’s Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Driving mad at twelve miles an hour
[ALL]
Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Comin’ straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way
[ALL]
Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Drinking and dancing with my Ruska Roma
[ALL]
Balaga!
[BALAGA]
Riding my horses into the ground
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir
[ALL]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
Driven you round with ladies on your laps
[ALL]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
Taken you places not on any maps
[ALL]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
Galloped faster than ordinary men would dare
[ALL]
More than once!
[BALAGA]
Jumped my troika right into the air
And I never ask for rubles
Except maybe once a year
I don’t do this for rubles
I do it cuz I like ’em!
[ALL]
And we like Balaga too!
[ANATOLE]
Whoa…
[ALL]
Whoa…
[BALAGA]
That's my song!
[ALL]
Whoa...
Whoa...
