US vs. USSR

MOLOKOV
No one can deny these are encouraging times
ALL
No one can deny these are encouraging times

MOLOKOV
It's the US vs. USSR
Yet we more or less are--

ALL
No one can deny these are encouraging times

MOLOKOV
--To our credit putting all that aside
We have swallowed our pride

ALL
These are optimistic and encouraging times

2ND AMERICAN
It really doesn't matter
Who comes out on top
Who gets the chop

MOLOKOV
No-one's way of life is threatened by flop

AMERICANS
What a load of whining peasants!
Thinking they can win--they can't
What an exhibition of self-delusion
This one's a foregone conclusion

MOLOKOV/RUSSIANS
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

MOLOKOV
How good to feel that as this great event begins
It underpins
Our quest for peace, the bonds of common interest
Of East and West

AMERICANS
As long as our man wins

RUSSIANS
As long as our man

ALL
--Wins!
