<b>moscow nights</b> by <i>Helmut Lotti</i><br />Moscow nights are cold, but they're crisp and clear 
Let's go South for winter this year 
To Afghanistan, it's such a lovely land 
And the people are russian as can be. 
In Afghanistan, right next to Pakistan, 
With it's warm water port upon the Sea. 

Exciting things are happening there every day, 
And each night a fireworks display 
In Afghanistan, it's such a lovely land 
And it's warmer by far than Moscovy 
In Afghanistan, or maybe old Iran 
Where the oil fields are wonderful to see. 

Exotic sights to see in each quaint old town
those that were not burned to the ground 
In Afghanistan, it's such a lovely land 
And the natives are friendly as they can be 
In Afghanistan, it should be Russian land, 
Just a small part of Brezhnev's legacy.
