Lyrics

Ooh (Babooshka)
Ooh (Babooshka)

She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn't have made a worst move

She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears

And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter

"All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya"

Ooh (Babooshka)

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he would fall for her incognito

And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny, how she reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs

Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out

"I'm all yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya"

Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
(Babooshka-ya-ya)
(Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka)
