[Balaga]
Who’s that madman flying at full gallop down the street
Who’s that madman knocking people over
Running people down
While his fine gentlemen
Hold on to their seats

[Anatole & dolokhov]
It’s balaga!

[Balaga]
Driving mad at twelve miles an hour

[Anatole & dolokhov]

Comin’ straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way

[Anatole & dolokhov]

[Balaga]
Lashin’ my whip at horses and peasants

[Anatole & dolokhov]

[Balaga]
Risking skin and life twenty times a year
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir

[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!

[Balaga]
From tula to moscow and back in just one night

[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!

[Balaga]
A narrow escape from a wild cossack fight

[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!

[Balaga]
They’ve beaten me and slapped me with their gloves

[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!

[Balaga]
Made me drunk on champagne, which I love!

Galloped faster than ordinary men would dare

[All]
More than once!

[Balaga]
Jumped my troika right into the air

And I never ask for rubles
Except maybe once a year
I don’t do this for rubles
