There's a Russian Ballerina from the Bolshoi
She has the hottest tutu I have ever seen
I mailed a dozen roses first class out to Moscow
And for my love I also sent blue jeans
At nighttime when I dream I see her dancing
And when I wake I'm dancing on the bed
I'd give up all my wealth to be romancing
The princess from the square that's painted red
Please defect my Russian queen
So we can dine at Momma Rosalee's
We'll drink the finest wines from the bar
As conversation thrives and the garlic bread arrives
I'll pour the grated cheese out of the jar
My pretty dancer does her daily drilling
It keeps her body nimble and in shape
Should she want to change and she was willing
I'd help my ballerina to escape
If Gorbachov could offer me some help here
I'd ask him for a favor right away
Unfortunately no one seems to answer
I've been calling up the Kremlin night and day
Please defect my Russian queen
So we can dine at Momma Rose Lee's
We'll drink the finest wines from the bar
As conversation thrives and the garlic bread arrives
I'll pour the grated cheese out of the jar

The other day I decided to watch Oprah
Barishnikov turned out to be her guest
Surprisingly they spoke about my sweetheart
And said that she likes Chinese food the best
So I've given up my plans to wine and dine her
At Momma Rosalie's bar and restaurant
Instead of eating garlic bread and pasta
You know I'd give her anything she wants
Please defect my Russian Queen
So we can dine at Won Ton Ming's
They make the finest egg rolls in the land
As conversation thrives
And the Chicken Chow Mien arrives
I'll open up a wet nap for your hands
