Kalinka Komrade

Leslie was cruising along the Thames

With his Russian bride Natasha

They were travelling to Algiers

A Green Jesus smiled at them

From the Hanging Woods

Kalinka Kalinka

On the towpath near the snowball trees

Children sang and danced to the Russian song

In the main square of the maiden town

A girl from Kambodia purchased a new dress

As she had been invited to live in Algiers
