CHILDREN'S CAMP SONG

WHO DO YOU THINK, WHO DO YOU THINK
WHO DO YOU THINK THAT WE ARE
WE COME FROM AFAR
FROM THE LAND OF THE CZAR
WHO DO YOU THINK, WHO DO YOU THINK
WHO DO YOU THINK WE MAY BE
WE'RE THE RUSSIAN, RUSSIAN, RUSSIAN,
RUSSIAN, RUSSIAN CAVALRY
HEY, JERRY POLOSKI, THE RUSSIAN DIPLOMATSKY
HE PUT A NICKEL IN THE SLOT TO OVERTHROW THE CZAR
HEY, MOTION COMMOTION, I SORTA GOT A NOTION
TO PUT A NICKEL IN THE SLOT TO OVERTHROW THE CZAR
HEY, IS DIS NOT THE RUSSIAN FRONT?
YES DIS IS THE RUSSIAN FRONT
IS DIS NOT THE GERMAN REAR?
YES DIS IS THE GERMAN REAR
RUSSIAN FRONT, GERMAN REAR

AU DUSHENA, AU DUSHENA
