Bolsheviki
Bolsheviki.
" Poins, Poins, these be noisome fellows."
— Shakspeare.
We are the Bolsheviks!
We are the Bolsheviks!
We're out to raise the devil everywhere—
(
Shaking fists)—
"Frustrate the knavish tricks,
Confound the politics"
Of old John Bull, Bill Massey and Joe Ward—tear their hair!
(
Joyously)
So on a lamp we'll string
You up and let you swing
And as you gently dangle in the breeze
You'll wish—you might wish wuss—
You had been born a Russ.
But now go down—down, you lubbers, on your knees (
threatening), on your knees!
Thumbs up for the Bolsheviks!
