Intro:

When Lenin was little

All the birds in the forest were singing, "Man, this is it!"

But now that he's older

All the sailors in the heaven are screaming, "Abandon ship!"

Chorus:

I know it can't be right

But I just smile instead

Of repeating what I said

In my head

When Lenin was little

Dressed up like a vampire on 'All Hallow's Eve'

All the saints up in heaven

Were looking down at the leaves falling from the trees

Chorus:

I know it can't be right

But I just smile instead

Of repeating what I said
