Ian Dury - Eugenius (you're A Genius) lyrics

Now here's a story of a little lad With a Polish Mum and a Russian Dad Whose bosses said this love was bad They sent his Dad to Leningrad His Mum got ill and soon she died A Polish orphan was certified They stuck the little boy inside For years and years he cried and cried Eugenius, you're a genius Eugenius, you're a genius Eugenius grew to be eighteen With a father he'd not heard nor seen A Polish Dad for whom love was mean Set his sights on stage and screen An actor now in a traveling show The troupe performed in old Moscow The father whom he did not know Turned up and begged him not to go Eugenius, you're a genius Eugenius, you're a genius Two days of vodka drunken race With vodka tears upon his face His father to his own disgrace Said "Poland's such a little place" "While over here I've got it made The Russian rules must be obeyed I investigate the black market trade And I'm the one who must be obeyed" Eugenius, you're a genius Eugenius, you're a genius A voice said "No, I'll go alone To the only home I've ever known To start a family of my own Such is the seed that you have sown" And then he heard that his Dad was dead With a Russian bullet in his head So he wrote to Moscow for some bread "Forget it son", was all they said Eugenius, you're a genius, Eugenius, you're a genius, (repeat to end)
