Said She Was a Dancer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She said she was a dancer If I believed it, it was my business She surely knew a thing or two about control Next to the bar we hit the samovar She almost slipped right through my fingers It was snowing outside and in her soul [Verse 2] Well, maybe you're a dancer And maybe I'm the King of Old Siam I thought it through, best to let the illusion roll I wouldn't say I've never heard that tale before My frozen little senorita But if your dream is good, why not share it when the nights are cold? [Chorus 1] Hey Moscow, what's your story? Lady, take your time, don't hurry Maybe a student of the agricultural plan Hey Moscow, what's your name? If you don't want to say, don't worry It would probably be hard for me to make it scan [Verse 3] With her phrase book in her silk soft hand She spoke in riddles while the vodka listened I said, "Let me look up love", if I might be so bold She was the nearest thing to Rock and Roll That side of the velvet curtain That separates eastern steel from western gold [Chorus 2] Hey Miss Moscow, what's your story? You needn't speak aloud, just whisper Am I just the closest thing to an Englishman? You've seen me in your magazines, or maybe on state television I'm your Pepsi-Cola, but you won't take me out the can [Guitar Solo] She said she was a dancer, so she did [Verse 4] She said she was a dancer If I believed it, it was my business It felt like a merry dance that I was being led So I stole one kiss, it was a near miss She looked at me like I was Jack the Ripper She leaned in close, "Goodnight", was all she said So I took myself off to bed
