Pattern 1:
Went off to school and learned to 
serve the state
Followed the rules and drank his 
vodka straight
The only way to live was drown the 
hate
A Russian life was very sad, and 
such was life in Leningrad.

Pattern 1:
Victor was sent to some Red Army 
town
Served out his time, became a circus
 clown
The greatest happiness he ever found
Was making Russian children glad, 
and children lived in Leningrad.

Pattern 2:
Children lived in Levittown, headed 
for shelter underground
'Til the Soviets turned their ships 
around, tore the Cuban missiles down
And in that bright October sun we 
knew our childhood days were done
And I watched my friends go off to 
war
What do they keep on fighting for?

Pattern 1:
And so my child and I came to this 
place
To meet him eye to eye and face to 
face
He made my daughter laugh, then we 
embraced
We never knew what friends we had 
until we came to Leningrad.
