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:
F#
I know it can't be right
B
I know it can't be right
F#
But I just smile instead
G
Of repeating what I said
D
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
F#
But I just smile instead
