Back in the U.S.S.R.
The Beatles Lyrics
Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the USSR, yeah
Been away so long I early knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the US
Back in the US
Back in the USSR
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind
Oh, come on
Hu hey hu, hey, ah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the USSR
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind
Oh, show me round your snow peaked
Mountain way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I'm back in the USSR
Hey, you don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the USSR
Oh, let me tell you, honey

According to the Back in the USSR Songfacts, this was inspired by the The Beach Boys song, California Girls.
During the recording session on 22 August 1968, Ringo Starr walked out and announced that he had quit.
"Back in the U.S.S.R." was recorded without Starr, with McCartney primarily responsible for the drum parts. McCartney's drums are most prominent in the mix, but both Lennon and Harrison recorded drum tracks for the song; these are audible in the left channel of the stereo mix.

@Ma Bul probably, but I'm not right or left wing, I'm both, the whole chicken.

If Lennon was alive I don't think he would just be happy to get the story from western media. Going back to what started the russia drama. As its been in the air since 2014. Chomsky said back then! He's usually on point!

I can't believe they are bringing back all these things from my childhood: Picard, Skywalker, Ghostbusters, the Soviet Union.
