Verse 1: Yuriy Gurzhy?, Katya Tasheva
In a little trattoria in the town of Kuzy❲?❳
As I was ordering my meal the waitress said:
Mi scusi! I assume you're Russian, you have such a Slavic face
What a joy to meet a Russian in this godforsaken place!

Chorus
And I said everyone speaks Russian, you know this is true
Everyone speaks Russian, you speak Russian too
And if you don't speak Russian, it just can't be right
Yes, you can speak Russian, you just never tried!
You never tried!

Verse 2
And it was still quite early and the place was almost empty
And at the table next to us there sit a beautiful black lady
And then she introduced herself, guess what her name was Masha
She said her dad's from Somalia but her mom is Russian!

Chorus
Everyone speaks Russian, you know this is true
Everyone speaks Russian, you speak Russian too
And if you don't speak Russian, it just can't be right
Yes, you can speak Russian, you just never tried!
You never tried!
Everyone speaks Russian, you know this is true
Everyone speaks Russian, you speak Russian too
And if you don't speak Russian, it just can't be right
Yes, you can speak Russian, you just never tried!

Verse 3
Ich hatte mal ne Krise und fühlte mich nicht wohl
Die Lady lief mir weg und ich ertrank im Alkohol
Ich ging in eine Klinik und fragte nach Haldol
Sie gaben mir Olanzapine und ich wurd Blumenkohl

Doch nach einem Monat, da gings mir auf den Sack
Ich packte meine Sachen ein und haute einfach ab
Ich holte mir ne Butze in meiner Heimatstadt
Ich aß nicht mehr, ich rauchte nur und schlief den ganzen Tag

Nach 180 Tagen kam ich langsam auf die Spur
Ich packte meine Belge ein und ging wieder auf Tour
In der Krähenfelder Kufe, da spielte ich nen Gig
Und aus der ersten Reihe kam auf einmal dieser Blick

Die Kleine war Zorgeski und machte mich zum Mann
Kein Mirtazapine mehr und kein Citalopram
Sie schenkte mir ein Kind und nahm mir den Verstand
Und seitdem sprech ich russisch, auch wenn ichs garnich kann

Chorus
Everyone speaks Russian, you know this is true
Everyone speaks Russian, you speak Russian too
And if you don't speak Russian, it just can't be right
Yes, you can speak Russian, you just never tried!
You never tried!
