[ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Hey, Balaga, Ho, Balaga, Hey, hey, ho, Balaga, Hey, hey, Balaga, The famous troika driver Hey, Balaga, Ho, Balaga, Hey, hey, hey, Balaga, Hey, hey, Balaga, The famous troika driver [BALAGA] Who's that madman Flying at full gallop down the street? Who's that madman Knocking people over, Running people down, While his fine gentlemen Hold onto their seats? [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] It's Balaga! [BALAGA] Driving mad at twelve miles an hour! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Balaga! [BALAGA] Coming straight at you Get out my way, get out my way! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Balaga! [BALAGA] Lashing my whip at horses and peasants! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Balaga! [BALAGA] Risking skin and life twenty times a year For my fine, fine gentlemen Yessir, hey, ho, yessir Yessir, yessir, yessir [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] More than once [BALAGA] From Tula to Moscow And back in just one night! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] More than once [BALAGA] A narrow escape From a wild Cossack fight! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] More than once [BALAGA] They've beaten me And slapped me with their gloves! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] More than once [BALAGA] Made me drunk on champagne, Which I love! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Hey, Balaga, Ho, Balaga, Hey, hey, ho, Balaga, Hey, hey, Balaga, The famous troika driver Hey, Balaga, Ho, Balaga, Hey, hey, hey, Balaga, Hey, hey, Balaga, The famous troika driver [ANATOLE] Who's that slowpoke We abuse with wild and tipsy shouts? [BALAGA] Who knows things That would get you sent straight to Siberia If anyone found out? [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] It's Balaga! [BALAGA] Driving mad at twelve miles an hour! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Balaga! [BALAGA] Coming straight at you Get out my way, get out my way! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Balaga! [BALAGA] Drinking and dancing at Gypsy orgies! [ANATOLE & DOLOKHOV] Balaga! [BALAGA] Riding my horses into the ground For my fine fine gentlemen Yessir, hey, ho, yessir Yessir, yessir, yessir [ALL] More than once [BALAGA] Driven you round with ladies on your laps! [ALL] More than once [BALAGA] Taken you places not on any maps! [ALL] More than once [BALAGA] Galloped faster than ordinary men would dare! [ALL] More than once [BALAGA] Jumped my troika right into the air! And I never ask for rubles, Except maybe once a year— I don't do this for rubles, I do it 'cause I like 'em! [ALL] And we like Balaga too! [ANATOLE] Whoa [ALL] Whoa Whoa Whoa
