Fix me a drink, make it a strong one
Hey comrade a drink, make it a long one
My hands are shaking and my feet are numb
My head is aching and the bar’s going round
And I’m so down, in this foreign town

Tonight there’s a band, it ain’t such a bad one
Play me a song, don’t make it a sad one
I can’t even talk to these Russian girls
The beer is lousy and the food is worse
And it’s so damn cold, yes it’s so damn cold
I know it’s hard to believe
But I haven’t been warm for a week

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away
Midnight in Moscow is lunchtime in L.A.
Ooh play boys, play…

Espionage is a serious business
Well I’ve had enough of this serious business
That dancing girl is making eyes at me
I’m sure she’s working for the K.G.B.
In this paradise, ah cold as ice

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away
Midnight in Moscow is sunshine in L.A.
Yes, in the good old U.S.A.
