Moonlight & Vodka Lyrics by Chris De Burgh

Moonlight & Vodka

Fix me a drink, make it a strong one,
Hey comrade, 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 these russian girls,
The beer is lousy and the food is worse,
And its so damn cold, yes its so damn 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.
