Oh, my dear how boring,
He's defecting
Just like all the others,
He's expecting us to be impressed
With what he's done here,
But he hasn't stopped to think about the paperwork his gesture causes
We've an embassy to run here.
If these people can't strike blows for freedom
With a valid visa, we don't need 'em.
If we seem offhand, then please remember
This is nothing very special, he's the fourth we've had since last November.
Who do these foreign chappies think they are?
And when he's safely in the West
He'll be the hero to discuss.
The media will lionize him,
Fame and fortune plus,
No-one will recall it's Thanks to us.
You have a wife?
You have two children?
And they're not coming with you?
No, not for the moment.
You play chess. You are good at it?
Oh. I hear you're world champion.
Since yesterday.
That's still good.
Have you an appointment with the consul?
If you don't we know what his response'll be,
He will not see you with respect
It buggers up his very taxing schedule,
Pushing peace and understanding.
Let us hope this won't affect it.
Far too many jokers cross the border,
Not a single document in order.
Russia must be empty
Though we're all for basic human rights,
It makes you wonder what they built the Berlin wall for
Who do these foreign chappies think they are?
And when you've
Filled in all the forms and been passed clear of all disease,
Debriefed, debugged, dedrugged, disarmed and disinfected, please
Don't forget the guys who cut your keys.
