vera johnson - that minx from pinsk lyrics
the russian steppes are cold and bare, they have no escalators
and when the winter blizzard blows you need fur boots and gaiters
the wind howls like a banshee ghost, but inside we’re warm as toast
we sit around the samovar and this is what we sing
that minx from pinsk, i never will forget
so young and so plump, i’m dreaming of her yet!
in her red babushka she was beautiful and g+y
that minx from pinsk, she stole my heart away! hoy!
if i lived a thousand years, i won’t forget my olga
the many happy days we spent canoeing on the volga
she would paddlе, i would sing and pluck the balalaika string
and the song i sang to her it always was thе same
that minx from pinsk, i never will forget
so young and so plump, i’m dreaming of her yet!
in her red babushka she was beautiful and g+y
that minx from pinsk, she stole my heart away! hoy!
i was then her lover bold, she called me brave and daring
and she kissed me when i brought her gifts of pickled herring
when she saw them in the brine then she swore that she was mine
it was so romantic that it makes me want to cry
that minx from pinsk, i never will forget
so young and so plump, i’m dreaming of her yet!
in her red babushka she was beautiful and g+y
that minx from pinsk, she stole my heart away! hoy!
then met a villain by the name of stanislavsky
he took her out on winter nights, joy+riding in a droshky
when the winter turned to spring he gave her a diamond ring
all my happiness was gone, it turned to black despair
that minx from pinsk, i never will forget
so young and so plump, i’m dreaming of her yet!
in her red babushka she was beautiful and g+y
that minx from pinsk, she stole my heart away! hoy!
if you want a happy life, take my advice, tovarish
stay away from girls and never, never think of marriage
just as you hear wedding bells she runs off with someone else
better you should cut your throat before that day arrives
that minx from pinsk, i never will forget
so young and so plump, i’m dreaming of her yet!
in her red babushka she was beautiful and g+y
that minx from pinsk, she stole my heart away! hoy!
