The Neva Flows, a new wind blows And soon it will be spring We hear you, comrades! The revolution hears you! Together, we will forge a new Russia that will be the envy of all the world! The Tsar's St. Petersburg is now the people's Leningrad! They can call it Leningrad, but it will always be Petersburg New name, same empty stomachs They tell us times are better Well, I say they're not Can't cook an empty promise In an empty pot "A brighter day is dawning! It's almost at hand!" The skies are gray, the walls have ears And he who argues disappears! Hail our brave new land St. Petersburg is booming A city on the rise It's really very friendly If you don't mind spies! We stand behind our leaders And stand in line for bread We're good and loyal comrades, and our favorite color's red! Now everyone is equal Professors push the brooms Two-dozen total strangers live in two small rooms You hold a revolution, and here's the price you pay Thank goodness for the gossip Спасибо за слухи! Thank goodness for the gossip That gets us through the day Hey! Have you heard? There's a rumor in St. Petersburg Have you heard What they're saying on the street? Although the Tsar did not survive One daughter may be still alive The Princess Anastasia But please do not repeat! It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery Something whispered in an alleyway Or through a crack It's a rumor that's part of our history They say her royal grandmama will pay a royal sum To someone who can bring the Princess back Dmitry! They've closed another border We should've gotten out of Russia while we still could! St. Petersburg was lovely when royalty was in I called myself a count as though I'd always been I hobnobbed with the royals, but then a change of luck The Tsar was dead, the royals fled And, comrade, now we're stuck! Vlad! I've been thinking about the Princess Anastasia Oh, not you too, Dmitry! It's the rumor, the legend, the mystery It's the Princess Anastasia who will help us fly You and I, friend, will go down in history We'll find a girl to play the part and teach her what to say Dress her up and take her to Paris Imagine the reward her dear old grandmama would pay Who else could pull it off but you and me? No! It was a truck backfiring, comrade That's all it was Those days are over, neighbor against neighbor There's nothing to be afraid of anymore You're shaking There's a tea shop just steps from here, let me- Thank you What's your hurry? I can't lose this job They're not easy to come by But thank you I'm here every day! A ruble for this painting It's Romanov, I swear! Count Yusupov's pajamas, comrade Buy the pair! I found this in a palace Initialed with an A It could be Anastasia's! Now what will someone pay? We need something of hers to show the old lady How much is that music box? Ah, the music box! It's genuine Romanov, I could never part with it! Two cans of beans, comrade? Done Do you believe in fairytales, Vlad? Once upon a time, I did We're going to create a fairytale the whole world will believe! Now it's risky, but not more than usual We'll need papers, we'll need tickets, we'll need nerves of steel Yes, it's risky, a lot more than usual We'll try to cross the border with our princess and our plot Hopefully disaster won't ensue With luck, it'll all go smoothly And with luck, we won't be shot Who else could pull it off but me and you? We'll be rich! We'll be rich! We'll be out! We'll be out! And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about! I heard it from a person who Assured me it was absolutely true Shh! Have you heard? There's a rumor in St. Petersburg Have your heard? Comrade, what do you suppose? A fascinating mystery The biggest con in history! The princess Anastasia Alive or dead Who knows? Shh!
