The Pretty Pride of Russia Songtext
von Tom Hickox

I look out from my window
At the cotton fields below,
And wonder what it′s like
In England.
One thing's for sure –
I′ll get in there in the end,
Once I've saved enough
To pay my friend's kind friend –


A man most eager to help
(He′s said he′ll find me a job
And a luxury flat
With other girls like me).
And I'll have a salary –
More than in my dreams –
To buy jewellery
And fur and clothes.

There′s more to life than this – the world must be explored –
And London is the perfect place for me to be adored.
Yes there's more to life than this – the world must be explored –
And London is the perfect place for me to be adored.

London town is where I′ll go and
London town is where I'll grow –
I′ll learn to act and to sing
And make my father proud.
When I'm home once I've grown,
They′ll all stare and want to go –
To be like me,
The pretty pride of Russia.


There′s more to life than this – the world must be explored –
And London is the perfect place for me to be adored.
Yes there's more to life than this – the world must be explored –
And London is the perfect place for me to be adored.
