Clarke Peters - Difficult and Dangerous Times lyrics

[Molokov & Diplomats] No one can deny that these are difficult times No one can deny that these are difficult times [Molokov, spoken] Miss Va**y [Florence, spoken] Mr. Molokov [Soviet Diplomats] It's the U.S. versus U.S.S.R Yet we more or less are [American Diplomats] No one can deny that these are difficult times [Soviet Diplomats] To our credit putting all that aside We have swallowed our pride [American Diplomats] These are very dangerous and difficult times [Florence] It really doesn't matter Who comes on top [Molokov] Who gets the chop [Molokov & Diplomats] No one's way of life is threatened By a flop! But we're going to smash that ba*tard Make him wanna change his name Take him to the cleaners and devastate him Wipe him out, humiliate him We don't want the whole world saying "They can't even win a game." [Walter] We have never reckoned On coming second [Molokov] There's no use in Losing It's the red flag up against stars and stripes But we're peace-loving types [Diplomats] No one can deny that these are difficult times [Florence] It's a sweet hail-fellow-well-met affair [Walter] For both eagle and bear [Diplomats] These are very dangerous and difficult times [Molokov] For those that say that This is not a friendly clash-- Don't be so rash I a**ure you, comrades That is balderdash [Molokov & Diplomats] What a load of whingeing peasants! Thinking they can win--they can't! What an exhibition of self-delusion This one's a forgone conclusion [Molokov & Soviet Diplomats] But enough of all this beating Round the bushes of detente We intend to collar the Yankee dollar We shall thrash them! [All] Trash them! [Molokov] How good to feel that As this great event begins It underpins Our quest for peace-- The bonds of common interest Of East and West [All] As long as our man wins As long as our man wins!
