Lyrics Balaga - The Great Comet Original Cast

Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey ho Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver

Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey hey Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver

Who's that madman flying at full gallop down the street
Who's that madman knocking people over
Running people down
While his fine gentlemen
Hold onto their seats

It's Balaga!

Driving mad at twelve miles an hour

Balaga!

Comin' straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way

Balaga!

Lashin' my whip at horses and peasants

Balaga!

Risking skin and life twenty times a year
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir

More than once!

From Tula to Moscow and back in just one night

More than once!

A narrow escape from a wild Cossack fight

More than once!

They've beaten me and slapped me with their gloves

More than once!

Made me drunk on champagne, which I love!

Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey ho Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver

Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey hey Balaga
Hey hey Balaga
The famous troika driver

Who's that slowpoke we abuse with wild and tipsy shouts

Who knows things that would get you sent straight to Siberia
If anyone found out

It's Balaga!

Driving mad at twelve miles an hour

Balaga!

Comin' straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way

Balaga!

Drinking and dancing at gypsy orgies

Balaga!

Riding my horses into the ground
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir

More than once!

Driven you round with ladies on your laps

More than once!

Taken you places not on any maps

More than once!

Galloped faster than ordinary men would dare

More than once!

Jumped my troika right into the air

And I never ask for rubles
Except maybe once a year
I don't do this for rubles
I do it cuz I like 'em!

And we like Balaga too!

Whoa...

Whoa...
