There's a war going on

Out there somewhere

And Andrey isn't here

And this is all in your program

You are at the opera

You're gonna have to study up a little bit

If you wanna keep with the plot

'Cause it's a complicated Russian novel

Everyone's got nine different names

So look it up in your program

We'd appreciate it thanks a lot
