Babooshka
She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn't have made a worse move
She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears
And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out, I'm-
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka-ya-ya!

Sie wollte ihren Mann auf die Probe stellen
Sie wusste genau, was zu tun war
Ein Pseudonym, um ihn zu täuschen
Schlimmer hätte sie es nicht machen können
Sie schickte ihm duftende Briefe
Und er empfing sie mit seltsamer Freude
So wie seine Frau
Doch wie sie war, bevor die Tränen kamen
Und wie sie war, bevor die Jahre vergingen
Und wie sie war, als sie schön war
Sie unterschrieb den Brief
Ganz dir
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Ganz dir
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Sie wollte es weiter treiben
Also arrangierte sie einen Ort zum Treffen
Um zu sehen, ob er
Für sie inkognito schwach werden würde
Und als er sie sah
Hatte er das Gefühl, sie schon einmal getroffen zu haben
Unheimlich, wie sie
Ihn an seine kleine Dame erinnert
Fähigkeit, ihm alles zu geben, was er braucht
So wie seine Frau, bevor sie ihn abblitzen ließ
So wie seine Frau, als sie schön war
Er rief laut: Ich bin-
Ganz dir
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Ganz dir
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Ganz dir
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka-ya-ya!
