Embassy Lament |
| Oh, my dear how boring |
| He’s defecting |
| Just like all the others |
| He’s expecting |
| Us to be impressed |
| With what he’s done here |
| But he hasn’t stopped |
| To think about the paperwork |
| His gesture causes-- |
| We’ve an embassy to run here |
| If these people can’t strike |
| Blows for freedom |
| With a valid visa |
| We don’t need 'em |
| If we seem offhand |
| Then please remember |
| This is nothing very special |
| He’s the fourth we’ve had |
| Since last November |
| Who do these foreign |
| Chappies think they are? |
| And when he’s safely in the West |
| He’ll be the subject to discuss |
| The media will lionize him |
| Fame and fortune plus |
| No-one will recall |
| It’s thanks to us |
| You have a wife? |
| Yes |
| You have two children? |
| Yes |
| And they’re not coming with you? |
| No, not for the moment |
| You play chess. |
| You are good at it? |
| Oh. |
| I hear you’re world champion |
| Since yesterday |
| That’s still good |
| (sung) |
| Have you an appointment |
| With the consul? |
| If you don’t we know |
| What his response’ll be |
| He will not see you-- |
| With respect it buggers up |
| His very taxing schedule |
| Pushing peace and understanding |
| Let us hope this won’t affect it |
| Far too many jokers cross the border |
| Not a single document in order |
| Russia must be empty |
| Though we’re all for |
| Basic human rights |
| It makes you wonder |
| What they built the Berlin Wall for-- |
| Who do these foreign |
| Chappies think they are? |
| And when you’ve |
| Filled in all the forms |
| And been passed clear of all disease |
| Debriefed, debugged |
| Dedrugged, disarmed |
| And disinfected, please |
| Don’t forget the guys |
| Who cut your keys |
