Ivan Meets G.I. Joe lyrics

So you're on the floor, at 54

Think you can last - at the Palace

Does your body go to the to and fro?

But tonight's the night - or didn't you know

That Ivan meets G.I. Joe

He tried his tricks- that Ruskie bear

The United Nations said it's all fair

He did the radiation - the chemical plague

But he could not win - with a cossack spin

The Vostok Bomb - the Stalin strike

He tried every move - he tried to hitch hike

He drilled a hole - like a Russian star

He made every move in his repertoire

When Ivan meet G.I. Joe

Now it was G.I. Joe's turn to blow

He turned it on - cool and slow

He tried a payphone call to the Pentagon

A radar scan - a leviathan

He wiped the Earth - clean as a plate

What does it take to make a Ruskie break?

But the crowd are bored and off they go

Over the road to watch China blow!

When Ivan meets G.I. Joe
