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!

Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka-ya-ya!

Ze wilde haar man testen
Ze wist precies wat ze moest doen
Een pseudoniem om hem te misleiden
Ze had geen slechtere zet kunnen doen
Ze stuurde hem geurige brieven
En hij ontving ze met een vreemde vreugde
Net als zijn vrouw
Maar hoe ze was voor de tranen
En hoe ze was voordat de jaren voorbijvlogen
En hoe ze was toen ze mooi was
Ze ondertekende de brief
Jouw eigendom
Baboeshka, Baboeshka, Baboeshka-ya-ya!
Jouw eigendom
Baboeshka, Baboeshka, Baboeshka-ya-ya!
Ze wilde verder gaan
Dus regelde ze een plek om naartoe te gaan
Om te zien of hij
Voor haar incognito zou vallen
En toen hij haar zag
Kreeg hij het gevoel dat ze elkaar eerder hadden ontmoet
Bijzonder hoe ze
Hem doet denken aan zijn kleine dame
In staat om hem te geven wat hij nodig heeft
Net als zijn vrouw voordat ze hem negeerde
Net als zijn vrouw toen ze mooi was
Schreeuwde hij, ik ben-
