She wanted to test her husband.
|
She knew exactly what to do:
|
A pseudonym to fool him.
|
She couldn't have made a worse move.
|
|
She sent him scented letters,
|
And he received them with a strange delight.
|
Just like his wife
|
But how she was before the tears,
|
And how she was before the years flew by,
|
And how she was when she was beautiful.
|
She signed the letter
|
|
"All yours,
|
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
|
All yours,
|
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"
|
|
She wanted to take it further,
|
So she arranged a place to go,
|
To see if he
|
Would fall for her incognito.
|
And when he laid eyes on her,
|
He got the feeling they had met before.
|
Uncanny how she
|
Reminds him of his little lady,
|
Capacity to give him all he needs,
|
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
|
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
|
He shouted out, "I'm
|
|
All yours,
|
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
|
All yours,
|
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
|
All yours,
|
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"for ever
