| YOU ARE MY GIRL-SKI | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
You've heard the Deitcher singing to his Gretchen He sings in language of the Zuider Zee But my girl is a Russian with a name just like a sneeze Which makes it very difficult for me She's Russian and her name is Vodka Pop-off In Russian I've to serenade this miss And what with all the 'off-skis' and the 'on-skis' and the 'in-skis' It sounds so silly when I sing like this. Chorus: 'You are my girl-ski, my lovely pearl-ski I will be true-i-koff True blue-i-koff to you-i-koff I've got this tin-ski, I mean to win-ski Say you'll be mine-o-vitch My little Vodka Pop-off. The Northern lights are gleaming, Vodka darling And although I'm far across the ocean blue In fancy once again I see the polar bears at play How strangely they remind me, dear, of you I think about your face, I can't forget it I've often heard of faces causing pain But when I think of your face I thank heaven you're in Russia And I'm in England singing this refrain.
