Dead in his tomb, who can it be? Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. He's looking great, lying in state, 100 years' smile on his face. Lost in his own permanent dream, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Nobody knows how much is him; wax museum mausoleum. Riding his trike on the Nevsky, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Lay him to rest!? He'd rather be six feet under next to Trotsky! Sealed in a vault, for all to see, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Lying in state, served on a plate... Ignominy, what a disgrace. Troika bicycle, Vladimir's tricycle; Soviet dream is eating ice cream. Spectre of state, he's running late - 100 years past his own fate! Well tell me, Grandad Lenin, how is it that I see your red and yellow tricycle strolling down Prospekt Nevsky? She's a trim craft, capable of speeds fit for the bourgeoisie... or a freeze-dried bolshevik Hyde from last century! Oh, Volya Lenin. Oh, Ilyich Lenin. Stroll, Grandad Lenin! Roll, Comrade Lenin!
