We Russians have come up with a vaccine
Named Sputnik V — we’ll launch it in the spring!
The greatest feat of science the world has seen!
We Russians have come up with a vaccine —
(Just be aware it may explode your spleen,
Your brain, your bladder — organs in between)
Yes Russians, raise your voices — proudly sing:
We Russians have come up with a vaccine
Named Sputnik V — we’ll launch it in the spring!
