Balaga lyrics

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

Hey Balaga

Ho Balaga

Hey hey ho Balaga

Hey hey Balaga

The famous troika driver

Hey Balaga

Ho Balaga

Hey hey hey Balaga

Hey hey Balaga

The famous troika driver

[BALAGA]

Who’s that madman flying at full gallop down the street

Who’s that madman knocking people over

Running people down

While his fine gentlemen

Hold on to their seats

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

It’s Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Driving mad at twelve miles an hour

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Comin’ straight at you

Get out my way, get out my way

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Lashin’ my whip at horses and peasants

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Risking skin and life twenty times a year

For my fine fine gentlemen

Yessir hey ho yessir

Yessir yessir yessir

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

From Tula to Moscow and back in just one night

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

A narrow escape from a wild Cossack fight

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

They’ve beaten me and slapped me with their gloves

[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

Made me drunk on champagne, which I love!

[ALL]

Hey Balaga

Ho Balaga

Hey hey ho Balaga

Hey hey Balaga

The famous troika driver

Hey Balaga

Ho Balaga

Hey hey hey Balaga

Hey hey Balaga

The famous troika driver

[ANATOLE]

Who’s that slowpoke we abuse with wild and tipsy shouts

[BALAGA]

Who knows things that would get you sent straight to Siberia

If anyone found out

[ALL]

It’s Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Driving mad at twelve miles an hour

[ALL]

Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Comin’ straight at you

Get out my way, get out my way

[ALL]

Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Drinking and dancing with my Ruska Roma

[ALL]

Balaga!

[BALAGA]

Riding my horses into the ground

For my fine fine gentlemen

Yessir hey ho yessir

Yessir yessir yessir

[ALL]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

Driven you round with ladies on your laps

[ALL]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

Taken you places not on any maps

[ALL]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

Galloped faster than ordinary men would dare

[ALL]

More than once!

[BALAGA]

Jumped my troika right into the air

And I never ask for rubles

Except maybe once a year

I don’t do this for rubles

I do it cuz I like ’em!

[ALL]

And we like Balaga too!

[ANATOLE]

Whoa…

[ALL]

Whoa…

[BALAGA]

That's my song!

[ALL]

Whoa...

Whoa...
