Fix me a drink, make it a strong one,
Hey comrade, a drink, make it a long one,
My hands are shaking and my feet are numb,
My head is aching and the bars going round,
And Im so down, in this foreign town;

Tonight theres a band, it aint such a bad one,
Play me a song, dont make it a sad one,
I cant even talk to these russian girls,
The beer is lousy and the food is worse,
And its so [bad word] cold, yes its so [bad word] cold,
I know its hard to believe,
But I havent been warm for a week;

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away,
Midnight in moscow is lunchtime in l.a.,
Ooh play boys, play...

Espionage is a serious business,
Well Ive had enough of this serious business,
That dancing girl is making eyes at me,
Im sure shes working for the k.g.b.
In this paradise, ah cold as ice;

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away,
Midnight in moscow is sunshine in l.a.,
Yes, in the good old u.s.a.
