Song 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
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind
Oh, come on
Hu Hey Hu, hey, ah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah
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
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind

Oh, show me round your snow peaked
mountain way down south
Take me to you daddy's farm
Let me hear you balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I'm back in the USSR
Hey, You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the USSR
Oh, let me tell you honey

I always loved this song because its a really really good one, but I also likes the thought of the text: it was written sometime 67-68 I think, USA and U.S.S.R was struggling aganst eachother in the cold war, (wich ended in 69, right?) and just look at the text, could it be more simple? There singing back in the US, back in the US, and then back in the U.S.S.R, just to have some fun with the yanks! Hahaha, like the swedish boy I am I really likes that (No offence lads, there is nothing wrong with americans, I really like you guys, but its always funny to play around with ya)

yes it is a parody of the beach bays song 'back in the USA' but they wrote it with the beach boys, not making fun of them at all.

It's a parody of all the california songs that were made during the sixties, for example by the Beach Boys. But Paul McCartney, who wrote it, actually loved the Beach Boys.. he was just having a little fun with the lyrics, making it about the ussr, that's all.
