Silk Stockings - Too Bad Lyrics

1955 Broadway
Silk Stockings the Musical - Too Bad Lyrics


The song is written by Cole Porter.

ALL:
Too bad we can't go back to Moscow,
No wonder we frown,
Too bad we've got to consent
To say in this decadent town, ai! Yai! Yai!
Too bad we can't go back to Moscow,
Lenin, pity us, do!

RUSSIAN:
Instead of singin' sacred songs
To Stalin divine,
At home, unless you sing 'em,
You're sent off to a mine
You'll hear at the Ritz Bar
Singin' "Sweet Adeline",

ALL:
Too bad, ai!
Too bad, ai!
Too good to be true, hai! Hai! Hai!

ALL:
Too bad we can't go back to Moscow,
No wonder we frown,
Too bad we've got to consent
To say in this decadent town, ai! Yai! Yai!
Too bad we can't go back to Moscow,
Lenin, pity us, do!

RUSSIAN:
Instead of countin' chickens
On each farm ev'rywhere,
In case a party member
Has a chicken to spare,
You'll see us countin' chickens
At the Folies Berg'res,

ALL:
Too bad, ai!
Too bad, ai!
Too good to be true, hai! Hai! Hai!
