  • Embassy Officials:
  • 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?
  • Official #1:
  • And when he's safely in the West
  • He'll be the hero to discuss.
  • The media will lionize him,
  • Fame and fortune plus,
  • Officials:
  • No-one will recall it's
  • Thanks to us.
  • Official #1: [Spoken]
  • You have a wife?
  • Anatoly: [Spoken]
  • Yes.
  • Official #3: [Spoken]
  • You have two children?
  • Anatoly: [Spoken]
  • Yes.
  • Official #2: [Spoken]
  • And they're not coming with you?
  • Anatoly: [Spoken]
  • No, not for the moment.
  • Official #4: [Spoken]
  • You play chess. You are good at it?
  • [Official #3 whispers in #4's ear]
  • Oh. I hear you're world champion.
  • Anatoly: [Spoken]
  • Since yesterday.
  • Officials: [Spoken]
  • That's still good.
  • [Sung]
  • 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 joker
  • 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.
