Barry Ryan ~ Red Man ~
1971
Red this time you’ve gone too far
you drank French wine caviare
yes, you’ve been a red square.
You think, Chaikowsky is too deep
but Michael Jagger won’t lose sleep
so you just get back there.
Red man sing your song, go go
red man don’t take long, no no
no no.
See that man there drinking tea
well, he’s no friend he’s K.G.B.
So get on the hotline.
They think you’re Rasputin too
and they’ve mad plans recruiting you
deep down in the salt mines.
Red man sing your song, go go
red man don’t take long, no no
no no.
No no no.
No no no.
Balalaika play you’re tune I’ll sing my song
Sputnick II is floating round my head.
Cossacks dancing on the moon
it won’t be long
pretty soon we’ll be seeing red.
(Instrumental)
All the lads in Leningrad
Think you’ve been bad
but don’t be sad
you’d better lie low.
Molotov and Vodka too
won’t see the situation through
Call Doctor Chivago.
Red man sing your song, go go go
red man don’t take long, no no
no no.
No no no.
No no no.
It’s a great shame the Ryan family Marion, Paul, and Barry are no longer with us.
People still listen to their music and they are all still loved
and appreciated…
