Way down in Lubyanka Prison
Wish I was back in the old Ukraine.
I was a faithful Party follower,
Until the line got changed again.

Chorus:

I denounced that Fascist bastard Tito,
No one could doubt my loyalty,
'Til 4 a.m. a week ago last Wednesday,
I had a call from the MVD.

All I said what I read in Pravda,
I'd never doubt or hesitate.
And 'cause I said just what I read in Pravda,
I'm now an enemy of the State.

Chorus: I denounced, etc.

My wife and I were both good party members,
I was loyal - and so was she.
So 4 a.m. a week ago last Wednesday,
She turned me in to the M.V.D.

Chorus: I denounced, etc.

Way down in Lubyanka Prison,
They left me there to lose my mind,
Thinkin' 'bout my embarrassing position,
Stranded by a change in line.

Chorus: I denounced, etc.

Last night while I was sleeping,
I dreamed I was a commissar.
But when I woke I found I was mistaken,
I was still behind that prison bars.

Chorus: I denounced, etc.

Though I'm down in Lubyanka Prison,
I cannot hardly help but smile,
For from what my brand new cellmate tells me,
My line may soon be back in style.

Last chorus:
It seems he praised that grand old fellow, Tito,
No one could doubt his loyalty,
'Til 4 a.m. a week ago last Wednesday,
They picked him up in Hungary.
