Embassy Lament

[00:05.96] Oh my dear, how boring. He's defecting.
[00:08.76] Just like all the others, he's expecting
[00:11.45] Us to be impressed with what he's done.
[00:14.11] But he hasn't stopped to think about the paperwork his gesture causes.
[00:18.37] We've an embasy to run.
[00:19.52] And if these people can't strike blows for freedom
[00:22.59] With a valid visa, we don't need 'um.
[00:25.43] If we seam off-hand then
[00:26.62] Please remember this is nothing very special,
[00:30.27] He's the fourth we've had since last November.
[00:32.19] Who do these foreign chappies think they are?
[00:35.20] And when he's safely in the West he'll be the subject to discuss.
[00:42.11] The media will lionise him, fame and fortune, pluss.
[00:45.22] No-one will recall it's thanks to us!
[00:48.42] (Spoken) You have a wife?
[00:51.30] Yes.
[00:51.99] You have two children?
[00:53.66] Yes.
[00:54.26] And they're not coming with you?
[00:55.94] No, not for the moment.
[00:57.81] You play chess, so you are good at it? Oh, I hear you're world champion.
[01:04.37] Since yesterday.
[01:05.51] That's still good.
[01:08.42] (Sung) Have you an appointment with the consul?
[01:13.24] If you don't we we know what his respons'll be.
[01:16.04] He will not see you with respect it buggers up his very taxing schedule
[01:21.41] Pushing peace and understanding
[01:22.95] Let us hope this won't affect it
[01:24.58] Far too many jokers
[01:26.03] Cross the border
[01:27.46] Not a single document
[01:30.65] In order
[01:31.69] Russia must be empty
[01:33.32] Though we're all for
[01:35.06] Basic human rights it makes you wonder
[01:37.37] What they built the Berlin wall for
[01:38.75] Who do these foreign chappies think they are?
[01:41.96] And when you've filled in all the forms
[01:47.50] And been passed clear of all disease
[01:49.27] Debriefed debugged dedrugged disarmed
[01:50.93] And disinfected please
[01:52.50] Don't forget the guys
[01:53.67] Who cut your keys
[01:55.55]
