Back in the U.S.S.R. Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles
Review The Song (2)Print the 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 U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S. Back in the U.S. Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
we leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
we leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

Show me round your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm.
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Review about Back in the U.S.S.R.

"The Beatles back in the USSR song is massively influenced both by the songs that Brian Wilson wrote for the Beach Boys and from the music of Chuck Berry. The Beatles and the Beach boys had a lot of respect for each other, with Wilson and McCartney being inspired by Rubber soul and Pet sounds respectively.

In 1968 Paul met up with beach boy Mike Love while hanging out in Rishikesh in India. Much of the Beach boys songs had been inspired by the track 'back in the USA' by Chuck berry, and Mike mentioned that it would be a cool idea to write a song in the same vain but inspired by the good things, and beautiful girls in the USSR. Hence the references in back in the USSR to the girls in Georgia and the Ukraine.

Interestingly, in the USA there were lots of complaints about the lyrics of the back in the USSR song, as people saw it as the Beatles supporting communism and of Russia having places better than those in the US. The Beatles reply was that they were trying to support rock 'n' roll and that their songs were for everyone in the world.

On this song paul takes over lead vocals and plays the rock 'n' roll style piano and lead guitar. George takes over from Paul on the bass. "
