U.S. vs. U.S.S.R.

DELEGATES
No one can deny that these are difficult times
No one can deny that these are difficult times

It's the US versus USSR
Yet we more or less are -

No one can deny that these are difficult times
-to our credit putting all that aside
We have swallowed our pride

These are very dangerous and difficult times

It really doesn't matter who comes out on top
Who gets the chop -
No one's way of life is threatened by a flop -

But we're gonna smash their bastard
Make him wanna change his name
Take him to the cleaners and devastate him
Wipe him out, humiliate him
We don't want the whole world saying
They can't even win a game
We have never reckoned
On coming second
There's no use in losing

It's the red flag up against stars and stripes
But we're peace-loving types

No one can deny that these are difficult times...

It's a sweet hail-fellow-well-met affair
For both eagle and bear

These are very dangerous and difficult times

For those that say that this is not a friendly clash
Don't be so rash!
I assure you comrades that is balderdash

What a load of whingeing peasants!
Thinking they can win - they can't!
What an exhibition of self-delusion
This one's a foregone conclusion
But enough of all this beating
Round the bushes of detente
We intend to collar
The Yankee dollar
We shall trash them
Thrash them


The value of events like this need not be stressed
When East and West
Can meet as brothers, ease the tension over drinks
Through sporting links
As long as your man sinks
