Moonlight and vodka

© Chris De Burgh

Fix me a drink, make it a strong one, [bad word]  a drink, make it a long one,

My hands are shaking and my feet are numb,
My head is aching and the bar's
going round,
And I'm so down, in this foreign town;

Tonight there's a band, it ain't such
a bad one,
Play me a song, don't make it a
sad one,
I can't even talk to [bad word] girls,
The beer is lousy and the food is worse,
And it's so [bad word] cold, yes it's so [bad word] cold,
I know it's hard to believe,
But I haven't been warm for a week;

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away,

Midnight in Moscow is lunchtime in L.A.,

Ooh play boys, play...

Espionage is a serious business,
Well I've had enough of this serious business,
That dancing girl is making eyes at me,
I'm sure she's working for the K.G.B.

In this paradise, ah cold as ice;

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away,

Midnight in Moscow is sunshine in L.A.,

Yes, in the good old U.S.A.
