Текст песни: Tschaikowsky and Other Russians + перевод

Without the least excuse

Or the slightest provocation

May I fondly introduce

For your mental delectation

The names that always give me a concussion

The names of those composers known as Russian

There’s Malichevsky, Rubinstein, Arensky, and Tschaikowsky

Sapelnikoff, Dimitrieff, Tscherepnin, Kryjanowsky

Godowsky, Arteiboucheff, Moniuszko, Akimenko

Solovieff, Prokofieff, Tiomkin, Korestchenko

There’s Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikoff, Ilyinsky

There’s Medtner, Balakireff, Zolotareff, and Kvoschinsky

And Sokoloff and Kopyloff, Dukelsky, and Klenowsky

And Shostakovitsch, Borodine, Glière, and Nowakofski

There’s Liadoff and Karganoff, Markievitch, Pantschenko

And Dargomyzski, Stcherbatcheff, Scriabine, Vassilenko

Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Mussorgsky, and Gretchaninoff

And Glazounoff and Caesar Cui, Kalinikoff, Rachmaninoff

Stravinsky and Gretchnaninoff

Rumshinsky and Rachmaninoff

I really have to stop, the subject has been dwelt upon enough!

He’d better stop because we feel we all have undergone enough!
