[Verse]
Without the least excuse, the slightest provocation
May I fondly introduce for your mental delectation
The names that always give me brain concussion
The names of those composers known as Russian
[Chorus]
There's Maliszewski, Rubinstein, Arensky, and Tchaikovsky
Sapellnikoff, Dmitriev, Tcherepnin, Kryzhanovsky
Godowsky, Artsybushev, Moniuszko, Akimenko
Soloviev, Prokofiev, Tiomkin, Koreshchenko
There's Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikov, Ilyinsky
There's Medtner, Balakirev, Zolotarеv and Khvoshchinsky
And Sokolov and Kopylov, Dukelsky and Klenovsky
And Shostakovich, Borodin, Glière and Nowakowsky
Thеre's Lyadov and Karganoff, Markevitch, Panchenko
And Dargomyzhsky, Shcherbachov, Scriabin, Vasilenko
Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky and Gretchaninov
And Glazunov and César Cui, Kalinnikov, Rachmaninoff
Stravinsky and Gretchaninov
Rumshinsky and Rachmaninoff
I really have to stop the subject has been dwelt upon enough!
Stravinsky, Gretchaninov
Rumshinsky, Rachmaninoff
I really have to stop because you all have undergone enough!
